    Do they limit you to how big your power inverter is (As in Watts) that you have installed in your truck?
    Thanks

    Millis. I know some places tell you they only want a certain Wattage to be installed into the company trucks

    Ooops, sorry, I neglected to look at category (Millis) which your post was in. My bad.
    Not sure what limits Millis has, if any, but hopefully a Millis driver can chime in soon.

    I believe what they dont know wont hurt em. just make sure its done properly so it dont burn the truck down. If you had a 5000W inverter in there and it wasnt installed properly and the truck burns down you could be on the hook. I have a 3000W in mine and I installed it myself, but with careful planning and making sure to add extra insulation where the cables go through the floor or anything metal (piece of rubber hose zip tied around the cable) and 3 years later, no problems whatsoever...

    i believe it is 1200 or 1500 but you have to have black river shop install it. you can not install it yourself.
