First of all what size should i be looking for when purchasing an inverter. I would need something that could power a handful of bulbs, say 5, a few portable fans, say 3, and maybe 3 televisions. What should be the general size needed for something like that? How many batteries would be needed? Is it worth purchasing in the states and bringing over on one of my trips, quality and price wise? Living in Santo Domingo, beginning of Charles De Gaulle, lately the power has been awful. Got to get something for the winter when i live there for 5 month period. Appreciate the help.
