Ps4 only takes about 200 watts, not even usually. Ps3, now that takes 400-500. TV and fridge are both low draws. I run all three of those things for 400-500 watts. I have a 1500 watt power inverter and never come close to topping her. My coffee make draws the most on it.
How many Watts would I need?

tucker Thanks this.

I dabble, don't usually play but if I get a load cancel I'll crank her up. To be honest, I'm usually more satisfied sleeping these days, haha

True story when I was at Swift: I received a load offer on the Qualcomm with a pickup and delivery date the day before I received the load offer. I replied using the appropriate Macro, adjusting the times for when I could pick up and deliver the load. I couldn't just send the macro without typing a reason (why I couldn't pick up and deliver yesterday). So I typed, "Flux capacitor not functioning properly".
I immediately received a reply from night weekend dispatch, "NO LOADS CAN BE ASSIGNED UNTIL YOU GET TRUCK TO NEAREST TERMINAL TO REPAIR FLUX CAPACITOR!"
I called and fortunately got ahold of an old hand, who roared with laughter when he read through the Qualcomm exchange. That's when I learned to simply make a call when times weren't workable. Dispatch is often as frustrated with the computer system as drivers.tucker Thanks this. -

The 2500 W ( 300.00 USD) Is an excellent choice for running all your high tech devices.
Have it professionally installed using 10 ft #2 Battery Cables ( 130.00 USD) Do not use a cigarette lighter outlet!
A 12 V refrigerator should be wired direct to the Battery with an on/off circuit breaker.
You could mount a 42 Flat Screen in the bunk to play games on.....
Oh and don't forget the Microwave Oven or a Electric Plate for cooking and a Crock Pot for slow roasting a chicken while heading to you next destination....
Yummy! I can smell that bird simmering ! LOL.....JojoTheTruckDriver Thanks this. -
as far as the microwave and coffee pot goes, if you get all of your low draw stuff on one of those surge protector multi plugs suited for the combined wattage, and just unplug that and plug in the microwave or coffee pot when in use, since they arent something that will really need to stay plugged in for long.
John Dewart Thanks this. -
You better check with your company. They may limit you to 1500 watts and they may have requirements as to how to install it, such as putting a fuse near the batteries or some co's. require that one of their own mechanics install it.
Lepton1 Thanks this.
