    I have read a jillion posts about the 12 volt plug-n power inverters, but haven't seen where anyone is using more than one in their truck at the same time. Can you use more than one (on) at the same time?

    sure I used to use two 400 watt inverters.....just plugged into different spots......I used to have a power strip hooked up to one for my tv, dvd,and converter box.

    Then I switched to an 800 watt and it ran the tv and stuff better. But now I won't take a tv out with me...just my laptop...play movies on it.....tv sucks anyway...LOL

    Yeah, I rarely watch TV except for college and NFL football. I can watch Netflix, Hulu, etc. on my laptop for other programming. One of those USB hdtv tv tuners may be an option also. BTW Nik, did you watch the Packers Superbowl win?

    I have two. The 2k inverter is for when I want to use my coffee pot, toaster or microwave. The 300 watter has my little fridge plugged into it. No need have the big power draw if it's not needed. I have a 100 watt one for when I fire up the laptop or my crockpot
