    Check out this coffee maker. Has anyone ever used this?

    It's not cheap, I know it's well over $100 maybe even $125, but it is a coffee mug that is actually a coffee maker.

    So if you put your coffee and your water and whatever else you like in there you're ready to go.

    If you take off and drive say 2 hours or so and you'd like a cup of coffee, you plug it in, hit the button, and right in your hands that mug will brew a cup of coffee and you can drink it right out of the mug.



    There is another one that is similar, but it uses a regular K-Cup. Unfortunately it looks like the company went out of business.

    That looks pretty slick. I got a carafe type from Walmart. Same with fridge. Got the smallest one avail. Need a larger one really. My goal was to keep volts/ amps as low as possible.For batteries and especially so I could power it all with the smallest generator possible,so I can use as little gasoline possible. I have the inverters, 1500w and a 1000w, and a 600w, bought them REAL cheap at Pilot.1 ea for fridge, coffee/micro, and Tv/Laptop. That’s my unconventional plan, Lol. I like the idea of having 2 different ones that will run Fridge, if one goes bad. Always having a back up plan. 6k diesel generator APUs with 13k btu a/c units are overkill. Same units used on a 30 ft Camper. A small mini split a/c unit and, What I really want is an affordable diesel generator, 3500 W max.w/ remote starter. Hard to find

    Get yourself at least an 1800-watt inverter. It will run a fridge, a 700-watt microwave, coffee maker, and so on. If you use the microwave, turn on your truck engine first. Your fridge (with a tiny freezer compartment inside the fridge) can run for up to around 24 hrs with the engine off and without damaging your 4 truck batteries.

    Most inverters will display the current voltage. Once it hits 12.3 volts, my truck automatically turns off most lights inside the cab. If it keeps getting lower, the inverter will start beeping and can cut the power automatically.
