    Interested in how Prime drivers have their trucks set-up while OTR. What size fridge or cooler do you have? Cooking devices you use (microwave?). What do you use for entertainment? Also feel free to post pictures or video's of how you have your truck sleeper cab set-up :biggrin_255:

    I have built in fridge, microwave strapped to top bunk, 19 in flat panel, food in top storage. I will try to get some picture when it is not rainy and dark the fake light does not come out well.

    How many watts does the fridge and microwave pull on your inverter?

    Who are you and why do you want to know? Obviously they pull watts that the inverter can handle. What is your real question?:biggrin_2554:

    What. You think he may be a company spy trying to catch guys with unapproved electonics in their rig? Is that black helicopter still following you? You know the company can read your thoughts throught the qualcom right. Nothing a tin foil hat won't take care of. Paranoid much?:biggrin_2556:

    Na pony I'm already a little out of square. If I give in to paranoia and conspiracy theories I'd be pushed right over the edge. I prefer to think big wigs don't care about a peon like me. Keep your head down, don't make waves, do your job, be invisible. It's worked for me so far. And I put my tinfoil on the outside too. Just in case.:biggrin_2559:

    ...Because I'm a planner and I'm curious to know so I have an idea of what other electronics I could still plug in to the inverter...quite a simple thought if you think about it...just sayin'!:biggrin_25523:

    The inverters we have installed in the truck are eithe 1350 or 1500 watts. So its not like they're a nuclear reactor... but are sufficient for a lot of things. Especially if you don't run everything at once. Also, you are space limited... think of it as a compact efficiency apartment on wheels.
