Does my truck have a power inverter?

lol too funny. I like that response

 

I missed that response, but that's how you get a burnt down truck.

 

That would be a decrease in efficiency, my 300 something watt laptop never had an issue. The only reason I switched was the PS4 Pro didn't like the output when the motor was running.

 

The biggest question is how do you buy a truck and not know if it has a inverter

 

Unfortunately, it’s all too true. Some drivers think nothing of cramming a wire through a jagged hole in the metal floor—a wire that is capable of delivering hundreds of amps when the insulation rubs through and burns the truck to the ground.

I’d estimate 95% of all drivers and a good percentage of so called professional mechanics have no business with anything electrical.

 

Well hell ladr, I bought my first truck with the inverter bolted to a peice of aluminum plate that was bolted to the floor. below the plate was the battery charger and auto switch unit under the inner and outer sleeper. I didn't know any of it was there until I stripped the sleeper out to remodel it.

 

I agree but it isn't just them but also a few shops that work on and bulld sleepers who need to take lessons. My buddy has a remodeling sideline and hates one of these popular custom sleeper makers becuase he has had a battle with them on the use of solid conductor house wiring. He was on the road one time and he said he could smell plastic burning, found out it was coming from behind the fridge and pulled the fridge to discover the plastic vinyl was melting. So he cut the inverter off, cut and pulled the wall apart to discover these idiots not just used house wiring but also had no grommets in the holes and didn't deburr the hole. He complained to the company who made the sleeper and the they told him too bad.

 

Don't think it's the wire colors. How the wires are routed, will they wear through and short out? Straight off batteries will throw fire like a welder.

 

Just remembered Thursday 3 trucks burned at Girard Ohio ( Piolet or Petro). Side by side. Heard the center truck caught fire and ignited the others. Might still be on WKBN Youngstown tv web site? My friend sent me pics. Not a pretty sight. Didn't hear of injuries or not.
