    Thankfully while in Tennessee we learned of the new wave of local toilet paper hoarding and were able to smuggle a couple 18 packs north. Apparently there are more toilet paper trees in Tennessee than New York so you can get all you want down there.

    I’m just wondering when it’s beeping, is the Truck off? Does it beep when Trucks running? Any difference?

    That's a good time to pre-trip between the dollies and drive axles. No one will notice you there.

    According to some Utube videos on my inverters. They can handle short surges almost double the amount. Surprised to learn that. They suggested running the vehicle. So alternator is keeping power consistent, for heavy loads. The 1500 is toast. It shows overload all the time, with nothing plugged in. The 1000 works, just smoked once, from coffee pot. Probably won’t last long either. I only paid about $50 for all three inverters. I’ve got a 600 also. No idea if it works.

    Didn’t get far yesterday. Found a VFW fish fry, Lake perch. I was wore out, getting the Truck together, loading up all my wife’s stuff. I call her the bag lady. She’s got a bag for everything. I travel light. Used to flying out of the house with just one bag of clothes. Next on the list is building a shelf around the side and back walls of my sleeper.

    Got a pot made. Used the 1000w. It smoked a bit, at first. Shut coffee pot off. Waited about a minute. Then it worked fine. Beeped once. Showing 8600-9500 draw. 13.9 amps of power with Truck running, probably work fine for fridge. Still don’t trust it.
