Getting my truck pretty soon. My company allows inverters. I just need advice on the wattage I would need. Optimistically, I want to know what I would need for a fridge, tv, and ps4. If it's possible.
How many Watts would I need?

Did you really sign up with a new name to ask the same question?
-
What are you talking about?
-
This is my first time asking
-
OK.
Another very recent poster asked the exact same question a couple hours ago.
The biggest and best inverter, installed by someone that really knows how to do it.
2500W would be good if you also want to run a microwave.
And make sure you have very good batteries to support the inverter, or you will be idling quite a lot.JojoTheTruckDriver and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Rough guess - they're all fairly low draw, so 1000 W should do it.
Quick research on the draw of devices and a calculator will see you right.JojoTheTruckDriver Thanks this. -
Yup. Microwave and coffee pot are high draw, 2000-2500 if you're regularly running these.JojoTheTruckDriver Thanks this.

Search the electric connection forum on here, I think this has been covered pretty well.
JojoTheTruckDriver Thanks this. -

1.21 Gigawatts, if you also plan on running the flux capacitor.
John Dewart, blairandgretchen, Lepton1 and 3 others Thank this.
