In the past we have done the marine battery with a few inverters and it worked well. We finally bit the bullet and bought a 2000w generator this year. I need some of you electric guys to tell me what all I can run off the thing.

The following is what we have:
1 32" TV
1 Directv SD receiver
1 Crock Pot
1 Blender
2 Strings of rope lights

We will have enough gas for everything. That's not the issue. But how do we figure out what combination of things can run at once. I know we can't run it all at one time. But could the TV stay running while running a blender at the same time? That's really our only concern as we can plug and unplug the crock pot as we need more power for other things.

I know I could look this up but figured someone on here could provide an easier explanation on how to figure out the combination of items that can run at once.

Any additional advice is appreciated.
