    Need an inverter.

    Small microwave,coffee pot, skillet and fridge is what it would power.

    Previous bad experiences?

    No experience. Just that things are always higher in truck stop. Wanted to get info before buying and then slapping my head.

    A 2000 watt CONTINUOUS is my minimum recommendation. Your average coffee maker pulls mol 800 watts. Microwave the same. Takes 5 minutes in the mw to fry that bacon.

    I bought a Xantrex 1500 watt inverter from Amazon for about $170 shipped. They make quality products from small scale up to industrial duty.
    Its 1500 watts continuous and 3000 watts max.... my microwave is 700 watts, my electric skillet is a 1000 and my pressure/multi cooker is 1200. Never a problem with using any device, BUT I never use more than one device at a time.
