Subject: Re: AUL Lighting

	This might seem convoluted, but there are relatively inexpensive
	12V to 110(+ or - x%) converters that I have used for other
	applications. That might be a way to go and you would be able to
	charge your batteries while driving or while camping as well as
	having juice for other gadgets that make life simple.
	This is just a thought, I don't have much experience with AC
	stuff, but I was in the car stereo biz for 10 years and
	have used the Astron power supplies for "in vehicle" installations
	along with as many as 16 (1100 CCA, 12V) batteries to provide a
	constant source of charge/supply for show vehicles that could draw
	200 amps to drive the systems for long durations. And yes I have a
	loss in high freq range from those loud bothersome cars you
	hear driving up and down the street at midnight.-EZ
