Nice thing about the car. You're fairly sure it runs. And you probably have
some fuel in the tank. Did the TV have static and such on the picture? Or
did it run properly?

A TV or computer is fine on a regular inverter. We have done it a lot.

In fact this was my first generator

I like it!

Had something similar at the last place i worked. No power out to the
barn where we stored the trucks and eq, so I rigged up a piece like this
(without the inverter), and strung up 12v bulbs around the place so i
could see what i was doing in the early morning hours. (i opened and
got the trucks ready to go out)
