Peter,

Thanks for the tip - and the idea.

I followed up on your suggestion over the weekend and am now the proud
owner of a Dick Smith 150W inverter.  Priced at $99, this is a terrific
deal.

Works fine too - a quality unit, quite light weight.  Running a TV,
there's a very fine line across the screen but not distinct enough to
be distracting.  Charges the laptop just fine.

All kinds of ideas are beginnig to flow:  When we go on our next
gourmet picnic we'll take the electric coffee grinder, the milkshake
whisk, the TV and the Foxtel dish - just to impress the other people in
the park!!  (Sat TV: Hubby reckons he can rig up a mounting frame for
the dish and some jacks on the trailer for stability.)  150W will be
enough to run the Foxtel decoder/TV simultaneously though we may have
to interrupt reception while we do the milkshakes.

This all-purpose inverter power supply is such a brilliant idea - why
didn't I think of it?

Love,
Carla
