Thank you so much for great response. That is exactly the type of setup I am interested in.
The Vector LTD site isn't that informative and they don't have the power inverter I told you about on there website. You would have to e-mail them and request the information for the VEC051GM inverter. I think I paid about $750 for it, it might have come down, I noticed that a lot of inverter prices are lower now. Try to get one that is MARINE rated so you don't have any issues with damp conditions, and it comes with GFI outlets to keep you alive if water gets mixed in with your work. You need to get the 3/4" thick

copper cable from them also, actually I think I got the cables from MRSOLAR.COM, so get them when you get the battery, this cable is what goes from the battery to the inverter, you'll need 2 (1 red & 1 black). Don't think that you can use a normal car battery for the powers source, it will eat the battery alive, you will get only a few months from a normal battery. You don't really need the charger, but it really helps keep the battery going for years. The lifespan of the battery can be up to 8 years if you keep it charged and conditioned with the right charger. I try not to charge the battery with my alternator because it is to aggressive of a charge to get a good long life from the battery. I had to give up my inverter for a while when it blew out a MOSFET, but it was within the warranty and covered for free. I really missed it a lot while it was gone

. Otherwise it has given me great service. The one thing I think I like best is the fact that it is silent. No loud motor, gas or exhaust. You could actually mount it on a dolly with a battery and bring it where you need it. Any more questions about the inverter or my setup or how you would need to set it up in your vehicle, just ask.
