The 12 Volt Outlets in the Vue

[JeffTheJoc]

Can any small appliance like an electric shaver, hairdryer or fan be plugged into the 12 volt outlets in the VUE? Is some kind of conveter needed, or even available? :cool:

There could be a line of under-20 / under-15 amp devices that are included on your list. I have a 12VDC electric ice scraper, car vacuum, and air pump. A shaver could be fesible, perhaps a small fan, but a hair dryer is a bit out of the question.

You could also check into a DC-to-AC power inverter. The higher wattage units (above 150-200 watts) will require a direct connection to the battery. You probably also want to be running the car :) You would be able to run a small hairdryer from an 800-1000 watt unit..

When camping; I also want to power a Refrigerator, Stove, TV AND Camplight ;)

You better just get a small generator then :)

Wow... I can run a generator off the 12 volt outlets too? :redjump:

[L300Boy]

Nah, you'll need gas for that :)

Ive operated a small TV, VCR, and boombox off of a 150 watt inverter and a deep cycle battery. Perfect for those 20-miles-away-from-electricity camping trips.

I found an automotive DC to AC Converter at Crutchfield.com for $39.95. I wonder if I could hook-up my lawn mower to that. ;)
