I went with an inverter in my truck for the simple reason that I could 
just plug anything in and not have to worry about a tangle of converters 
for this or that. It was also cheaper than buying the AC-DC converter 
for each appliance. The added benefit I could charge cordless tools and 
even power small widgets. For more capacity add a deep cycle marine 
battery and switch. Rather than use the clunky cigarette lighter socket 
you can just get the correct socket from Radio Shack and do a nice clean 
install in a more convenient place. I did this on my boat so I could 
plug in a Walkman etc. anywhere. Don't forget a solar panel. The 
technology is getting pretty good. A lot of boaters are using them. The 
most expensive part is the electronics to keep from cooking the battery. 
If a person is careful no expensive electronics are needed.
