    u might think of getting a bigger inverter if you want to power a tv and microwave. at least a 1500w. i had i think a 750watt and it didnt want to power anything unless the truck was running and even then i had a few problems still. i had an ipod velcroed to the dash and hooked up to the radio along with satalitte radio. i also had a very nice fridge that plugged into the cigarette lighter. i could leave it plugged in over the weekend and it wouldnt kill the battery or ne ting and kept everything ice cold.

    operable word being "yet"

    get the biggest inverter let the shop install it right and life will be smoother

    or get a job with a company that has apu's and inverters already

    i'll just pick up a 2500 watt inverter and have the guys at the shop install it i love the fact that i can call the owner directly and tell him i've been sitting for the last 24hrs and then 5 minutes later get a call from my dispatcher apologizing like im his boss to much to give it up lol it's a good feeling
