About to buy an inverter...

In regards to the 12 v. ciggie plug-in inverters, do you keep them plugged in all the time, or unplug them each night (or 10 hour break) you do not have the engine idling. I imagine you would unplug the 12v ciggie inverters, even without a cooler etc. connected when you are away from the truck, so it doesn't drain the battery? I leave my gps plugged in when I am not in my pickup truck. Doesn't drain the battery (but it is only a gps).

Seriously, Buckeye?

 

I leave my ciggie inverter plugged in 24/7. It has an on/off switch. I generally leave in on 24 hours a day anyway. It powers my satellite radio for which I had misplaced the ciggie plug so I have to use the 120 volt household pluggie innie thingie.

I also recently got one of those Glade Plug It In Plug It In smellie goodie thingies. Here's a pic:

 

Are those zip ties you used to fasten your (Cobra?) inverter on top of your cb? I would think the inverter would slide around, unless you have one of those anti-skid pads in between.

 

I'm not sure I would place my inverter so close to my CB. But, to each his own.
