I want to run some 120vac equipment (TV, VCR, stereo) in my vehicle.
I want to go the inverter approach (2 or more marine batteries feeding
an inverter); I need some input on a good unit.  The ones by Tripp-Lite
put out square waves, whose RF radiation screws up TV reception.  Has
anyone had any experience with the Heart Interface units?  I could also
use some hints on installing such a system.

I was wondering how the mobile amateur radio people handle 120vac
input requirements (or is everything 12v).  I would think a home
stereo + inverter would give better fidelity $ for $, at the
expense of some inconvenience.
