About to buy an inverter...

I have the 2000 watt powerdrive and I am not impressed.. On / off switch does not work (stays on all the time) and the cooling fans make a loud whining / grinding noise when it is cold in the cab. Plus for some reason it will power evrything but my printer/copier/scanner.

 

That has to do with the sine wave. Some appliances won't run off a modified sine wave.

 

Stripper pole???

 

Hell yeah... party in Dick's Truck!!!!!!!!

 

I've been running the same 1500 watt Vanner (made in Ohio) for over 20 years.

 

I've got a 410W Schumacher. Got it from Wally World.

I like it better than the powerdrives and cobras of about the same wattages. It handles my Xbox 360 better than those two, and it has readouts that tells you the voltage from the battery plus the watts whatever you have plugged into it is drawing, and it costs the same.....because *checks* yep, made in China.

 

Dick ended up getting a 2000W inverter for a really good price. Forgot where he said he got it or what brand it is.

Hey, American Trucker: could you describe how yours is hooked up and maybe show a pic?
Thx.

 

It should have 4 terminals 2 red 2 black, what you do is connect the two red together and the two black together and then take a wire from the black to the negitive side on your battery and a wire from the red to the positive side of the battery. heres a pic I'll post a better pic of it tonight when I stop I dont have time now, I gotta get ready to drive 5mph for 11 hours.......
