Thanks!

The brand new models 2007 being the last year, do not have “In”verters either as standard. Some people have them, but they are special ordered or they after market added. The camper is setup on 12 volts to be stand alone all except the 120 VAC side of life.
An inverter can be added, but larger batteries are also added at the same time. Some go solar charging, some go generator.
As far as easy, how easy depends on what it is you want to run. If you have something real small then a small 150 or 300 watt inverter as a stand alone thing clamped to the battery when needed is not that complex. I have one of these for emergencies. However to run something with a fair amount of current, microwave, hair dryer, this is not as easy.
There are a few on the forum here setup to go total bondocking and Eman being one of them will be by soon most likely. He lives for a long time never plugging into shore power.
Hope this helps
John
