At the bottom of the header bar is a site called wattflyer.com Just go there and click it on. Everything you ever wanted to know about electric power. I have some charts for converting but you better be up on your math if you want to use them. I get all my electric info at the WF forum

Gray Beard has definitely steered you in the right direction. The search button turned up this resource too, along with several other threads of people who have done an electric conversion of the Avistar.

You can also do some of your own estimates by using the chart shown in the sticky at the top of the Beginners Forum. Click on that thread and go down a few postings. The info there was taken from the Wattflyer website.
