    2500w continuous. We both run our laptops of the inverter.

    We have a coleman cooler and the TV plugged into the 12V, So we only run the Microwave, laptops, coffee maker and toaster on the power inverter.

    I had a generator on my truck. Convinced a lot of people to get them before these units were cool. Make your own coffee, warm at night for 2 gal instead of 10 of fuel.
    Wanna really save money. Start eating vegetables and fruit and drinking fruit juice whole, no sugar added. Get your fat butt out and exercise, it's your life, not the company and quit smoking. The only reasion people smoke is thy don't know what to do with their hands. Squeeze a tennis ball and build up muscles.
    I am going to die healthy!

    That's some good advice. But aren't fresh fruits and veggies and whole fruit juice a little pricey? It's something that I would like to do once I get a good routine established with a company and I'm making good money, but to start out, I would think it would be a little tough.
