A/C outlet....has anyone found a use for it yet?

I used it to run a fridge (while driving) before I set up my house battery...worked a treat.

Cheers

 

Runs a Koolatron while on route to camping/hunting spot.

 

Xmas lights! But honestly I don’t do truck stuff with my truck.

 

100W is less than 1 amp at 120V...there's no way it was running any sort of power tool supplying less than 1A

 

Yeah that doesn't seem right, does it? I know I was able to run the saw though. I'll double check when I get home... maybe my memory is deceiving me!

 

I used the outlet while idling with an angle grinder to cut down my U bolts. Did a good enough job with about half the rated current for the tool.

 

I use mine to run a battery charger when I’m camping.

 

It recharges my Jackery 240 while driving.

 

Would rather have it than find myself wishing I had one in a bad situation.

 

When the power went out I used it to power a coffee grinder.

 

Crockpot of soup on low only. Anything else trips the breaker. Have done this in the winter driving to my sisters an hour away for a Christmas party.

 

Best way to start off a camping trip when it's cold is a pot of chili that has been cooking the whole drive to camp. Pull in, set up camp, dish it out and dig in.

 

I can completely understand. Nothing like a hot meal on a cold night.

 

We all using it for lights lol. I'm gonna get a set for every holiday.
Have thought about using an electric grill. Make some food after a long hike or cook a fish fresh out the water. Ooo just had an idea for a small fridge for fish too

 

I’ve used my small Kobalt shop vac at idle, but it eventually cuts out. Most often though I plug in a small air mattress inflate/deflate pump.

 

Never thought of Christmas lights, but i added the always 400w mod, and regularly charge a laptop (work out of the truck sometimes), plus charging cordless tools, and also a circular saw several times in a pinch, just enough to get it done.

Once had a power outage just as we were starting a duct leakage test on a clients house, no generator. We had just spent hours sealing up, in preparation, so we ran a cord from the truck and did the pressure test, while the power was still out. Saved that day!!

 

I used it for a iron when waxing some skis. Did the trick but there's still some ski wax dried to my tailgate, oh well......

 

I'm like the rest, 400W anytime mod and installed an a/c outlet w/ 2 usb c outlets in the cab. I also ran DC to the outlet in the bed, Between the two sources, I charge everything; gopros, laptop, drones, a power bank that runs a fridge, and I fill the tires and inflate an air mattress. Options are nice.

 

Air pump on tubes to pull behind the boat.

 

I use it to run a small compressor to inflate/deflate the paddle boards when we go to the lake. Pretty convenient.
