FC Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 We had a power outage, so I tried out the 1200 watt pure sine inverter in the truck. I managed to make coffee and heat frozen breakfast croissants, but it tripped the internal circuit breaker fairly often. Guess that’s why trucks have optional additional alternators.

Dr.Hess Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Harbor Freight has some good sized ones that aren't too expensive. You can add capacity to them by putting a fan on the heat sinc. When we were without power for a week, I bought one and ran jumper cables off of one of the cars to it, then a power cord inside to power the fridge, etc. After a while, start the car and recharge the battery.
