Arrow 115V AC - Whats it good for??

Sorry but I can't seem to come up with any logical use for an AC outlet that only has an available output of 100 watts?

Any suggestions out there?

laptop, battery charger, phone charger (and you don't need to purchase the 12V plug)

400 watts while in Park

Owners manual states that the output is reduced to 100 watts while driving, seems backwards to me. Why did they not just give us another 12V outlet in the rear??

Computer charger... i.e moving map with GPS. Small things. I have a 400w inverter in my garage to install. Its enough to be useful, but not enough to have to keep the engine running all the time...

why only 100 when driving? seems it wouldn't matter?? Maybe its to keep you from putting a tv in the front seat??
