12 Volt TV/DVD and Coffee Maker
Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:03 pm
Hello all-- I'm a new owner of a 93-- Love it love it love it! Upon return from our first weekend outing, we sat down and developed a "wish list". 2 of the items that showed up on this list, are a TV/DVD combination, and a coffee maker. We like to get off the beaten path, and therefore frequently do not have shore power. I'm looking into 12 volt versions for the TV/DVD and coffee maker-- anyone have any thoughts?
Concerns:
How fast will these units eat up the Coach Battery?
Any recommended models? I have not been able to find a coffee maker with a thermos style pot (like the one I have at home) which would keep the coffee hot without power.
I'm considering mounting the TV with a bracket either on the left door of the cabinet to the left of the sink, or on the side of the same cabinet (depends on the available brackets)-- anyone done this?
I am not a fan of using the generator for long period of times-- too noisy. Of course I could use a 110V coffee maker and run the generator long enough to make coffee, but I would much rather not do this to watch a movie.
Thanks for all thoughts!
Steve
