Thanks, that makes sense. jim

Actually, you can use low draw 110V things, such as radio, electric blanket, blow dryer etc, but not the Air Conditioner, refrigerator, microwave, etc.

Will the 3 amp recharge the battery? jim

I am not Jim, but I can run my mouth.......

Yes, the idea of 3 amp power is to keep your batteries topped off while you live off the things that are 12 volt. Most folks suggest keeping your refer on propane to keep loads small.

Not to start anything, but a hair dryer is not a light load. 1200 watts/120 volts is 10 amps.

Have a good time at the rally. I would not go to one in many places right now without AC. 101 degrees today here.

That rally is so busy you won't have time to use any electric. It's one of the most interesting we have been to.
