Demo: Watch TV in your truck bed ( if power )

Hey forum,
thought I'd show you a potential setup if you have power in your truck bed. I'm using an LG monitor and Hauppauge 950q hd antenna only.

Maybe set it up camping, or at a bbq or something..
I'll have another video eventually showing that you can hook up a damn playstation in the truck bed if you wanted

Sweet! Is the truck on, or is it running off the battery?

 

In this sample, it's running off battery.
But you can fire the truck up as well.

In this clip, when I walked to the truck, I just pushed the power button on the left side of the steering wheel.

( regarding running down the battery )
I don't know how long it's feasible to run off the battery. But it's just the monitor only, no other components were needed. I suppose there's a way to have an idea using math, but probably not much different than pumping your stereo only off battery.

 

pimp my taco

 

how do you get the outlet to work without the truck running?

 

If I was going to do something like that regularly, I would just get another battery and use that. Probably not worth a possible stranded situation

 

Key -> ignition -> accessory level on...
Then I just pushed the power button to on from the cab.

Give it a test ! just bring a radio out there or something.

 

@JoDiddley : I totally agree. Really depends on how you would use this ability. for this vid, i was just showing "it's possible and pretty damn easy". The rest is up to all the creative users in this forum !

You could just run an extension cable and crank up the engine occasionally. I don't know that I see a scenario where someone would want to do this for 6 straight hrs every day, etc.. But to each his own !

later,
AC
