What size power inverter can my truck run?

I have a feeling many here assume that you will draw all 2000 watts all at once for prolonged periods. That’s like running 20 100W light bulbs That is a silly assumption.

  • 2 burner electric camping stove 50amps
  • electric chain saw 12-15 amps
  • battery charger 20-50 amps
  • cordless drill battery charger 14 amps
  • Camping fridge ~50 amps (when cooling)

As said previously, if you use a second battery, isolated from the first one, you will not have to worry about damaging or running down your main battery. My son-in-law had an inverter in his camping truck for many years without any problems. Enjoy
