Also check out the RV shops/ motorhome dealers, or their equivalent 
on-line. I wouldn't be surprised if every household appliance and 
electric gadget is available as a 12V unit. Blenders and popcorn poppers 
are just two I've noticed....
Apparently you can even get a 12V blender to attach to a mountain bike 
(this factoid from a semi-pro mountain biker I worked with). Perfect for 
cracking ice for your drinks while doing some extreme trail biking...

Cheers,
