   That makes sense.  I guess one thing that caught my eye with the   
   power station was the 110 V outlet.  Other than the AC, we would   
   have to do without the microwave and the electric kettle for   
   coffee on 12 V only.  We have to have our morning coffee (dark and   
   strong with an Aeropress), and I have yet to find a kettle that   
   could run on 12 V.  We could use the stove and a tea kettle, I   
   guess.   
      
   Anyway, I think I answered all your questions, but maybe not in a   
   very concise way.  Thanks again for the help!
