I would like to know if someone around c-bus has a power inverter i could borrow (the ones that plug into your car's lighter).

They are cheap just pick one up at Walmart or auto parts store. I have w couple but I'm not near cbus.

hair dryer (to blow up a air mattress). then probably fan/laptop.

You need to know the amps the hair dryer and fan star to know what size you need. The laptop will be fine with about any of the inverters. I'm not sure the super small inverted will handle the fan or hair dryer.

Typical hair dryer uses approx 1200-1400 watts on heat. I'd play it safe and suggest at least 1700 W and maybe even 2000 for kicks. That way, you can smurf the web while drying yer hair....

I camped once. At Walmart I bought an air matress and this little pump for it that is rechargable or runable off either 110 or 12. I bet it cost less than a power inverter. Check your local Wlamart/Meijer/Kmart/whatever camping section.
