Hi, I have just bought my first 7.5T horse box and am on a really steep learning curve it seems! some advice would be much appreciated please.
The box came with a small TV and separate DVD and I would like to be able to use these without necessarily having hook up. The box has hook up and if we were staying at a proper camp site, then of course we would use it. However it would be great to have the TV at a day event, if only for my long suffering Husband ;-)
The box has a shower so I'd like to be able to use a hairdryer as well.
Finally I had thought of putting a small Tassimo pod coffee machine in, but not sure how to power this.
I have done some research and I could replace the TV with a 12 volt version and run it off the leisure battery for a short while. Alternatively I could use an inverter to convert the 12 volts from the battery to a 240 volt supply, then presumably all the standard electrical equipment would work.
What do other people do please? Are inverters pretty simple to use? I presume you need them fitted by an electrician or do you just buy and plug in?
Sorry if I am sounding really dim but this is all new to me. Thank you
