Anyone using 120V to 12 V adapter to use traditional appliances?

Most modern APU do have 120v output, or at least charge the truck batteries while running which would allow you to use an inverter.

 

I've had one of those lunch box cookers for over 20 yrs.

a real handy little sucker

 

All the APU on my truck does is run the compressor for the bunk AC and charge the batteries. It does nothing else. It does NOT run the heater or have anything to do with it. So if you want 120v you use an inverter and run the APU to recharge the batteries while you use it.

 

This device seems to me to be something you would use in the home to power 12 VDC items. Take VERY special notice of that 200 watts limit in the information. 200 watts is useless when it comes to appliances. Stay away from those round lighter plug inverters too. There has been some great advice given to you so far. And PLEASE if you do buy a good inverter have it installed by someone that has done this before.

 

Doubtful you have any 20 year old things that run on electricity.

Let's see a picture of this marvel device.

 

what's your problem? we had electricity 20 yrs ago.

. I don't have the receipt and it looks just the new ones.

been out here 35 yrs and have a lot of crap over 20 yrs old that still works. even have a Cobra 29 made in 1994 that still works all lights out and meter bad, but it still works.

geez younguns' these days.

 

Hey yall this is Deacon Blue here . I've actually got a super bada$$ inverter for sale. It's a Xantrex MS2000. Friggin monster at 65 lbs. It's in excellent working condition. Google it and then be sure that the price I'm asking is not unreasonable .....300$. I'm gone

 

The OP posted a link. Like I said though. This is for home use. I used to run an old CB at home off one of those.

 

Those are called transformers, make model trains go fast or slow around the track. He he he.

Otherwise if at home, it's full 120 volt power. Cooks stuff faster.
