Mike I am not running any extra accessories.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and ideas. I will look into some of these options and hopefully find something that suits.

Thanks once again for all responses.

Then a 12 volt generator will work fine, better with a regulator, saving you a bunch of money!

I just thought the statement about converting or using a 12v generator might be confusing to some. It doesn't care.
