    DISCLAIMER FOR PEOPLE WHO SKIM: I am not buying or taking this stuff with me when I go with my trainer for 4-6 weeks this is just the planning stage.

    Well I'm concerned that I might pick up something that would not work in my truck due to amps / voltage requirements and wanted to run my list by some "pro's" and see if they see any issues or have any better suggestions for me.

    I am going to work for USA truck and my understanding is that converters are a big no no. So keeping that in mind everything is 12V however I am concerned about the microwave requiring a 20 amp system and not knowing much about trucks not sure if that's available.

    I'll tell ya that while they will work using the cig plugs, you may end up replacing alot of fuses. I have a coleman cooler that plugs in and worked real well and never popped the fuses. I have heard that the little stove things were ok...but never used them. I used to carry a camp stove/grill with me that ran on propane, worked really well.
    Good luck to ya and glad to see that you are planning ahead.
