    What is the policy? I've been over their web site, and didn't see it addressed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Nope, no inverters unless you can plug them into the cigar lighter, and I'd recommend you hide that one in the yard. I had one big enough to charge my cell phone and my laptop. I know they had to see it once or twice, but no one said anything. I'd have to go out to the barn and look, but I swear it's less than 300watt.:biggrin_25519:

    It must plug into the cigarette lighter and be a 180 watt or less inverter. If you have sleep apnea I believe you are allowed an inverter up to 350 watts. The only thing I use an inverter for is for my lap top, everything else (cell phone, xm radio, cooler) I just use the car charger plugs that they came with.

    If you have sleep apnea, SNI will work with you and install an inverter of their choice. Most of the trucks I slipseated, had them in there. And no cost to you.:biggrin_25525:

    Sleep apnea no longer gets you an inverter. Too many people were killing their trucks or getting a truck with one in it and going crazy. Their new sleep apnea machines plug into the cig lighter ports now. (I know, I've got one and love it) But like the previous posters say, 180 watts and must go into a cig lighter, anything more and your out.
