Can you play an vgames/computer/Xbox in your truck?

You can run a ps4 and tv off a 400w inverter.

 

A newer PS4, yes (which I have no personal experience with). I wasn't aware until the previous poster mentioned it that there was a version drawing substantially less power. The older model will not run on a 400 watt inverter.

 

My laptop uses 450w. You aren't going to game very well on less than 150.

My Samsung 22inch tv draws 88 watts. My xbox one draws 110 or so. I've ran it and my tv on a lighter plug inverter. Tge laptop won't even charge unless it's powered off on the same inverter XD

 

Wouldn't it be better to hire on with a company that has diesel APU? This way you have plenty of electrical power with the truck engine shut off and not run down the truck batteries.

 

Can get a 12v car charder for a laptop, much easier than inverters

 

More expensive than a basic cigarette lighter inverter though.

For internet get one of those at&T unlimited hotspots from ebay, make sure it's the high speed one. Should run you about $150/month.

For power, try to get a truck with an APU if that's not possible I would suggest PC gaming and getting an alienware laptop. Should be able to get ~2 hours out of it if it's fully charged and also plugged into one of those cheap cigarette invertors (sp?).

 

Easy on the computer hardware fellas... consider a CPU uses about as much as 130 watt TDP as a old style light bulb. Generates heat that has to go somewhere. Then add in the watts consumed by everything attached to it. Then double it for spike power when you boot. There is a surge that flows when you kick something on.

The monster under my desk has two 1500 watt supplies tied to two 20 amp T sockets at the wall. I don't think there is a APU or inverters (Plural) large enough to feed that monster in the rig.

I have seen exactly one proper computer, monitor, keyboard etc in a sleeper truck about 20 years ago and he was feeding it with a 3000 watter. It took up a huge amount of the availible space in his international sleeper. Ordinarly I would not remember such a encounter but that computer whew... space eater.
