| There are small wattage inverters around 350 to 400 watts that you can plug into a cigarette lighter which are powerful enough to charge your cell phone, run your laptop, power a cpap machine etc. If you want to run a microwave or a full fledged refrigerator then a hard wired inverter will be necessary. You should get clearance before installing a hard wired inverter into a company truck. I beleive there has been some truck fires due to overheated inverters and this may explain why many companies frown upon them. |

| 500 watts I spoke with them today and they said they allow 500's which the shop will install. This was coming from the Sparks/Reno shop so not sure if it is the same everywhere.

| That must be a new thing. They used to not allow any inverters at all.
