[QUOTE="Guest, post: 97012"] Hi all, I am after some on advice which would be the better option to purchase. My requirements are: 1. To be used when camping to charge batteries, detector, mobile phones, ipad etc etc 2. Use for a small heater that has a tip over safety switch built into the base for a test in depths of winter. 3. Maybe power a small TV 4. Run a small kettle or toaster. Boil kettle to have a wash in remote areas. 5. Run a small electric skillet 6. Have decent lighting at the campsite using 8 watt flouro globes. I am too old/soft to rough it any more. I understand that only one appliance can be run at any time, particularly the toaster, kettle and heater. How much drain on a 12v battery does a 2000 watt inverter have. How long till they go flat from full charge, an average battery? Would it run a 750 watt heater over night? Seems simpler to buy an inverter that is light, portable and does not require fuel cartage and ongoing fuel costs. Not to mention bothering your neighbours with a generator going all night. Am I missing something. Thanks for your experience and input [/QUOTE]
