Hey guys/girls I am looking for some advice on what converter I should run. I would rather have much more than I need then not enough.
I would like to run fridge (all the time), LCD with DVD, laptop, rice cooker, microwave, skillet, and a slow cooker. Obviously not all at once, but fridge, and maybe a couple others at any given time. LCD for movies when I am not using the laptop. Cooking stuff would only be used for meals, or maybe the slow cooker/rice cooker would be on extended time.
Any help on this would be great. In addition do large companies that allow stuff installed in their trucks usually have a limit to inverter size etc... I was told whatever I get and want installed into their trucks they will do at their shop for me so its done correctly.

A 1500 watt inverter will run any of those things. When running a microwave you'll have to unplug anything else but that will be with any inverter. I would buy a Cobra.

I only disagree with unplugging everything else, when the microwave is in use.
I just fired my truck up, it rarely required more than a 40% peak for my 800 watt microwave. My Mr coffee pulled as much or more some times.
The only real noticable differance I can equate to the use of said microwave....Longer cooking times. -
I would agree MM. I always just went the safe route and unplugged everything anyway. I should have worded it that way instead of saying you would have to unplug everything.

Do most power interters show you how much of its power you are using? So you know how much you are loading it up.
