    I'm looking for a way to boil water in my truck and was wondering if any of you have any recommendations for an electric kettle that would work with the Ram's 115V Auxiliary Power Outlet. My equipment listing says I have a 400W inverter in the truck.
    What can I safely use?

    That inverter is too small. Need a 1500W inverter for induction heating.

    I would buy one of those propane burners (Walmart <$20) and a good Stanley Thermos. Heat the pot when you want one and do a second one for later.
