We still keep a few inverters around in case anything happens down here.

Can you explain how you physically set that up? Inverter into cigarette lighter, extension cord to a power strip, fridge, tv, and toaster oven plugged into the power strip? Car on idle? Is it that simple?
Also, since our car has a built-in plug, can the inverter part be skipped?
A person with no mechanical skills wants to know, thanks.
