    @Kamkor I think you posted on here about power inverters. I just bought a used truck that had one in it but it was taken out before truck was sold. I would like to get a pure sine wave can you tell me where you got yours and what wattage did you get?

    Hope you are the right person.
    Thank you very much

    Kamkor, I didnt even have a GPS. I relied on written down directions (after calling my wife and having her use mapquest on the computer), and a huge fat Rand McNally map. I had zero idea how lucky I was back in those days NOT going down "no truck" roads.

    So, the trailer I currently have developed an air leak I could hear from 20ft away. So, of course I did what everyone would do...........






    Take the time to get it fixed before dropping the load in Ft. Worth for the OTR guy to take to Cali.

    Not in the habit of posting pictures that put any company in a bad light, but if you are interested feel free to look up the Pottsville Arkansas Police department fb page and see the damage.

    I don't have a pure sine, I have a modified sine wave that came from the company. 1500 watt.

    Now, I have noticed at Loves, PowerDrive is now selling pure sine wave inverters but it looks like they only go to 1000 watts. I THINK it went for 249.

    Pure sine is obviously more pricy than modified. But I'm pretty sure you can find a larger one for a "better" cost per watt than RoadPro/Loves online, I see one for 229 right now for 2000 watts. (Unless you got tons of Loves points and only need 1000 watts)

    PowerDrive 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter

    Eastwood 2000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter with Remote

    (I haven't purchased that one just the one I found.) Also if they left the wires and just took the inverter you need to know how much wattage the wires can take, and if they are installed correctly with proper protection, don't wanna turn your truck into a torch.

    Hope that helps...

    Trailer needs 2 air bags. One on each axle. One is a major leak (one I could hear 20ft from the trailer and the other couldn't hear but feel). Probably gonna be a while.

    I hate air bag leaks. Sometimes you get lucky and the shop has them in stock. Or you get my luck and they have to do a part run.
