Frustrated with 110 power outlets

[Skibum1681]

I wonder if there is a power filter of sorts that can prevent the electronics on the chargers from giving the electronics in the truck a hard time. The 400w inverter in the truck is just a little better than worthless...

The 1000 watt one I want is $250 for just the inverter no wires

1000 Watts at 120 volts means you are supplying 8 amps to whatever you’re plugging into it. Assuming the inverter is 90% efficient, that means your inverter needs to draw 90 amps from your 12 volt system at full load. You’ll need to run at least 3 gauge wire from your battery to provide your inverter.

that is correct, i am doing 0 amg because i am running the inverter to behind the back seat, i like camping and figured to do a 1000 watt just because i could run a microwave from the truck ..... probably never would but build for what your dream not for what you only need
