    I have a 1800 inverter, it came with the truck. Can I run a micro wave or should I get a bigger one.?

    Get the 700 watt one most of us get from Walmart. It's a good size for most trucks. Your inverter will run it fine. I always idle the truck when using a microwave, much easier on your batteries.

    Much easier to grab a Subway or Wendy's burger inside the truck stop, right ?
