    not working for prime, but i can tell you, anything that's a heated source will be at least 700 watts. cookers will be at least 1000 watts. from what i've seen so far.

    With prime's 1500 watt inverters you'll have to play "green acres" to figure out what you can run together .

    Just a tip. Run your engine when making coffee. It's a big drain on your batteries

    I have a Samlex true sine wave inverter in my truck, and it's awesome. The Tripp-Lite true sine wave inverters are also top notch.

    The ones that you buy at a truck stop are, relatively speaking, crap. "Modified sine wave" inverters are cheap and fine for resistive heating devices, but can cause problems with electronics.
