Have been thinking about this for a while. PS2 converts 240v back down to 12. So with my inverter jumpin it from 12-240 then PS2 240-12. All that inefficientcy.
Have seen this which is a cool idea but is quite pricey for what it is. Any1 know how to build their own?? Or anywhere else that sells em

I see your point about the inefeciency but how much power do they take anyway ?
Id rather keep my PS2 intact and use the invertor if i ever want it in the van.

invertors suck the batterys,if you get a new slimline ps they run on just under 12 volts anyways

PS 2 in a bus

Hiya , just joined forum but have completed fitting what you are on about.
As someone else said the slimline PS2 runs from a 12v adaptor. replacement for car use simply has cigar lighter plug. In my bus the whole thing including 15" lcd is mounted inside a flight case than can be locked and provides ultimate protection. As for wiring, the lcd is also 12v so I have them wired to a slave battery under the passenger seat. This is fed by dual charging circuit (switchable) and a solar panel from Maplin. Flightcase was most expensive part, but totally worth it. Hope this helps.[/img]
