To use the items you listed, you will need at least a 1500 watt direct wired inverter. If the company only allows 180 watts, you can't do much but a computer and cell phone charger.
You can get 12v appliances, ie. skillets, sauce pans, and small coffee pots. You can also get 12 coolers which will draw down to 35-40 degrees, except on very hot days.

look on product for the AMP required to run item..multiply by VOLTAGE (120 VAC on most appliances)..that will give you minimum watts need to run it.

I have very limited knowledge about what company policies are for this, but I do know of one company out of Superior WI, that allows inverters, microwaves, firdges and whatever, but it all has to be installed by their maintenance shop. The driver is NOT allowed to modify anything.
