Am setting up our off road van with 160 watts of solar , reckon I need ~300 watt inverter to run 34 cm t.v & satellite decoder .... can't afford a pure sine wave inverter so will go with modified sine wave - my question - is there a limit on t.v that can run off modified sine wave or will I have to spend extra & get a 12 volt one ?
I will probably get a cheap generator (back up only) to charge batteries if needed.

I bought a 300 watt pure sine wave from a company in
Brisbane over the net in December. Cost me $215-00 landed in
Sydney in two days. It hasn't missed a beat. It was brand new, guaranteed to operate, but had no warranty. In original boc but had been sitting in a warehouse for some time. He had a number of them at the time and was selling various models on ebay. The company was Unitec

Also
check out JAYCAR for pure sine wave
inverters. They have 150 & 350 watt going out on special (tho not as cheap as Big Dog's).
I have 2 Jaycar pure sine wave
inverters myself, a 150 & a 300 (older model).
The small one is used mostly for the other half's CPAP machine but keep the bigger one handy when I need more grunt.
