Question about electricity requirements?

Question

i need some help for those with an electrical background.

I have several componets, and i'm wondering what the power requirement would be for a generator if i took them camping with me & my nephews:

1) sony str-dg1000 receiver

2) ps3 game system

3) xbox 360 game system

4) sega dreamcast game system

5) sony bravia 23"

6) microwave oven

ideally, i would rent an r/v to use while camping, and only the tv, reciver, and one of the game systems would be on at any one time. reciver would be off when microwave is in use...(unless i get an rv with built-in microwave).

if anyone can help, please post, but allow emails to be sent in case i have additonal questions, or you need more information.

any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

the games themselves would probably require about 30-50 watts of energy each, the tv about 200 and the microwave about 500-700.  This is about 1100 watts at greatest but remember you also have a charger for your rv, lights, (ac unit?) refrigerator and misc stuff like stereos and clocks as well as the pump for the water.  5000 watt would probably work but 10,000 would be lots better and would work better.
