Roehl Driver Check In

Yep definitely learned my lesson on that one. I'll be sitting under an mt the night before next time.

 

Did you have the $300 inverter installed? I'm assuming the TV won't run on anything smaller? On another note, those that have XM radio, where did you install the antenna? I tried to do that today, but most of the truck is plastic and the magnet won't stick to anything?

 

Ran the antenna over the cabinets and out the top condo window and stuck in on the metal plate mounted at the top behind the condo then used electrical tape to help secure the wire. Works great so far, but haven't washed it either. Not sure it would handle the brushes.

 

I have a 19" flatscreen I run on a 175watt inverter, tv only pulls 50 watts, phone charger and DVD player plugged into same inverter pulling about 150 watts total. On my prostar I have my magnetic xm antenna on the roof out the passenger side, washed the truck the other day and forgot to bring it in, stayed put just fine.

 

I didn't realize TV's pulled so little. As far as the XM antenna, I tried all over that area and wouldn't stick to anything. Plastic everywhere on my KW. I'll have to try OSU's idea assuming there's metal anywhere on the outside of this truck.

 

If you look on the labels on electrical appliances it will tell you what they pull for power, If you need to convert from amps it is amp x volts eqalls watts

 

That first day is always a tough one. The more you drive, the easier and less stressful things will get. Best of luck from here on in, and welcome to Roehl!
