tailgating question
First off thanks everyone for the wealth of information you provide on this sight!!!
I'll be tailgating this Saturday at the UCLA/USC football game, and unfortunatly not everyone that is going has a ticket to get in. I decided to bring along a TV and satillite dish. I was wondering if an inverter would run a 32" tv and sat receiver or would I have to purchase a generator? I know the generator would definatly work for the application however its very pricey.
If an inverter would do the job does anyone know the wattage I would need to purchase? How long before I can use it before having to call AAA for a jump?
Thank in advance for your help!
usefull info:
2004 psd
duel batteries
not sure if it has duel alternators
non-usefull info:
4x4
lariet
4" DR lift
18" helo wheels
325/60/18 shoes

1st off i think michigan deserves a shot over usc no matter what...they both beat notre dame but usc lost to an unranked oregon and michigan lost to #1 Ohio state...who cares if they beat ucla...which they wont...they still dont deserve a shot against ohio state...

Yeah I agree. The BCS is junk.

The Sat recever will suck about 500 watts.
The TV will be you big problem, If it is an older unit the start up current can be as high as 2000 watts.

If Oregon can beat them???? Oregon could play them both, back to back, maybe at the same time and beat 'em both!!! 
I'm just glad we have college teams in Oregon
I'd use a generator. They're pricey, but Costco usually has some relatively small ones for a good price.
