    In normal everyday life I can usually get away with about 6 hours a day if I wanted too. But driving all day my eye lids get heavy quickly if I don’t get a full 8 hrs and them I am having to stop for a nap.

    Unless you are planning for 34 hour resets on the road, you won't get much time to game unless you are pulling a box.

    Those grocery dc places really need a drop yard for the OTR drivers. Then 18 hours after the appt. time when they are ready for it they can go out and grab it.

    Sometimes I kill zombies. Even though there’s supposed to be not enough time for games and laying around.

    I actually managed to game with a ciggy socket inverter and a laptop. Not sure that would work with a TV though.

    My brother uses a 1300 watter, runs his tv and ps4, busts his tail all week and uses his reset to play.

    Me? I’ll have a switch once I get the funds.

    I picture you in the back gaming with a brick on the gas pedal and a cat steering for you.

    The Cascadia has a couple of 12v outlets that are rated for 20A. 12V X 20A = 240 Watts Max. My 32" Samsung LED TV uses less than 100 Watts. According to an online search the PS4 uses 137 Watts (137+100=237 watts) so you would want to plug the PS4 into another outlet using another inverter. My TV works fine using a $30 inverter I bought at the truck stop. Dont know about the PS4.
