My inverter (for garage power) has two crocodile clips. It was very
easy to 'install'.

Mine was a aboard the boat, still in it's box and will be switched
into the boat's shore power system. It has a flush cutout and a
dedicated double socket, but they will be hidden. A flip of the
switch will have the inverter replace the shore power, ...

Care to elucidate on the wiring for this? My garage setup has no mains
power, so it's just a battery in a box with the inverter strapped on top. (I
have two batteries and swap them around between garage and house, charging
the unused one at home.) My boat doesn't have any power at present, although
I'll probably want to add that somewhere down the line. Since the marina has
shore power, it would be good to have an idea of how things connect up.

enough to run a small TV or charge the laptop.

How about some NiMhs and a charger for the h/h GPS? Or do you reckon that TV
and (secondary?) DVD player should take precedence?
