    Taking the family to the drive in theatre tonight and I want to use the bed outlet for a small radio to sit in the back of the truck while we watch the movie. Is there anyway to keep the power going to the bed without having the truck running?

    Not to my knowledge. Just use the "on" mode and make sure everything not necessary is shut off such as HVAC, radio, headlights/DRLs, etc.

    OP, could you bring a subdued color 100ft extension cord and sneak a plug into a facility outlet?
