I am installing a 19" flat panel TV in my coach, and have a question on what's the best way to power the 120 volts needed. I am mounting it over the monitor panel area close to the ceiling (I have moved the monitors elsewhere), and can run a 120 volt power cord to the outlet behind my refrigerator. Otherwise, I could install an inverter to power it even when the coach is not plugged in or has the generator running.
Can a small inverter provide enough power for this type of load? Should I just use the inverter to power the TV all the time? What gauge wire should be run to the fuse panel (about a 10 foot run) to power the inverter, or can I tap not the one that provides 12 volts to the fridge? I have no experience with inverters, so any suggestions are appreciated.
