    Will this work with the A/C bed outlet or will I blow a fuse?

    90 Watts is less than 400 Watts so you should be good to go. Odd that the rated current is 1.3 amps... because 1.3A X 115 volts ~ 150 watts. Maybe rated amps is the same as peak watts. you might check out a watt meter to be safe if you want to be under 100 watts when driving (with out mod).

    I tried a very small fridge once, probably about that same size, but it would not operate in the 100 Watt mode. That is with the vehicle out of park. It won't blow anything, but the automatic cut-off in the AC converter kicks in when the power draw is over the limit.

    You could do the 400w anytime mod and run it while driving.

    I was thinking I could use it in the bed for camping/tailgating and during road trips I could keep it in the back seat and run an extension cord through the sliding back window.
