I solved this problem by putting a door in the door, whereas I gather you are talking about putting a door inside the outer door. By putting a door in the door, I am still able to open the origional...

Actually, the Stealth Camper has an EU2000i which is good for about 13A continuous, and 17A short term, if I remember correctly. It is very quiet as are all the little Honda's. You can double that...

AKat777, I have lost track of your design intent. Do you have no 12V house batteries at all? If so, you are coming to an unusual design solution, but if it works for your mission that's all that...

OK, so what you are calling an AC/DC adapter is commonly called a "converter" in the RV world. In the world of general electronics it is called a DC power supply, or a battery charger.

Most electric blankets are not made for use as mattress pads. The heating element wires will break, and/or the wires are too widely spaced and get too hot and can burn you or start a fire. If it...

12V electric mattress pads are available for overnight warmth. They do not heat as rapidly, or consume as much energy as a typical 110VAC electric blanket, but they do seem to do a good job because...

You will also want a whole house filter, sedement and charcoal. They are cheap and readily available. Reverse Osmosis is optional and probably not in your budget. Full timers often have water...

Long hot showers in an RV? You have the same kind of issues as with batteries and an inverter, only now it is with water. I am going to assume that this luxury is limited to when you are hooked up...

I have never seen an AC powered vent top fan, but it may be because I never looked for one. Someone else out there might know of one.

As for ovens and a cook top, I am sure that you will get many...

Air conditioners are the one thing I have seen that do not seem to come in a 12V DC version. There is no technical reason why they could not, but there doesn't seem to be much demand, so no supply....

3000W is not only big enough to run the fridge, it is big enough to run the air conditioner with room to spare. 3000W is 25A at 120VAC. A Coleman polar cub draws about 11A to 13A depending on how...

Ceiling vent fans are typically 12V, not 110VAC. I used the MaxAir and like it. The snorkel type cover allows the fan to be used even in the rain. You can still have your little crank up lid...

I am assuming you want the lowest cost solution. You can go with no house batteries at all. That implies the fridge and other AC loads are off when traveling. The next step up is two Sam's Club 6V...

As far as electrical, can you give us more of a hint. Does this thing need to boondock, meaning run on batteries? If so you need batteries, a battery charger/inverter, and probably a transfer...
