Hi all: try as I might, I do not understand inverters. I have searched the back threads and they are still a bit technical for me. Am I right in this simple statement? Are they like a storage bank? You run them from 12v in 4wd and the power converts/accumulates to be available to run items that require 230/240v to run. If so, how long does it take to create sufficient power to (say) charge a laptop or a digital camera battery?

We will soon have a camper trailer and want to know that we will have sufficient power. CT comes fitted with 105 amp hour deep cycle battery. Our 50 litre Waeco fridge will run from dedicated battery in the 4by. I have been told if not opened too frequently I will have sufficient fridge battery power for 3 days. I know I can run the 4by to recharge. But to help my understanding and reduce feelings of insecurity, what size PW inverter should I get to provide backup power for the fridge and how long would it last?

Thanks for your patience, any help much appreciated. Cheers, RayJen
