Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
BTW, I found out that while the 2010 Prius’ battery is fused at 140, the DC to DC converter output is only fused at 125. Looks like the latter (actually fusible link) sits under the fuse box in the engine compartment. If so, it might be a b**** to change. No thanks. To avoid blowing it, I’d want to stay well under the 125…and who knows how much the car draws for its computer, engine fan and whatnot in “Ready” mode? 10 amps…20? Not sure how one could guesstimate that. In any event, there would not appear to be a whole lot more power available for an inverter from the 2010 model over the 2003.
Dcb’s idea of a battery bank would free me from the worry of blowing that darned fuse…at a price, of course. All food for thought. Thanks again, guys.
Mike
