Hi Witi
Like Allan above, we use all the original 240v chargers that came with the items that we need to charge. As for the location of the inverter, it is hard wired into my auxiliary dual battery and located in the back of the Prado.
It is in the car for one important reason......I can monitor everything that I want charged. These are the items that get charged when then need a charge.....
Windows small notebook that is on all the time for real time moving map track file recording, Mac Book Pro, like you for all personal use and for photos, charging up my satellite phone when it needs recharging, recharging my camera batteries, and if my hand held UHF needs a top up, it goes on the charge as
well.
My inverter is a good quality unit, and has now served me
well for over 12 years and at the time, cost me a lot of money. Like all electrical items, the same pure sine wave inverter now sells for hundreds of dollars cheaper.
Like I said above, buy a good quality pure sine wave inverter and you will have not issues at all. Also from what you said about your wife, you Mac will get you over 7 hours of continual use, so based on those facts, there would ne no need to have it located in your van.
All the Best.
Cheers
Stephen
