The only use for bed outlet

Used a hair dryer to debadge tailgate. Powered a work light. Charging drone batteries.

 

Be careful. Some Crock-Pots say not to cook with the lid latched down. Mine has a vent, but supposedly it’s not enough to keep pressure down while it’s actually cooking. Mine’s only for transporting with ingredients in it, either pre or post cooking. Haven’t actually tried it, so who knows.

 

Charging batteries is what I've used inverters for. You can keep an assortment of jump pack, AA and AAA batts, laptop, phones, power tools charged simultaneously. I've plugged a travel trailer into an inverter on a need basis.

 

I’ve successfully used a Harbor Freight DA Polisher from the bed outlet.

I also reinstalled my Christmas Light Mod the other day.

 

HF electric chainsaw for cleaeing trails and camp.

 

If I plug a battery charger into it, and then connect the battery charger to the battery do I get some kind of electro circle-jerk going that even Tesla would admire?

 

The power in the house went out for 3 hours one evening last summer...

Kept my kitchen fridge, two household lights, and two cell phone charges going with the bed plug and an extension cord.

 

Did you idle the truck for 3 hours?

 

Yup.

 

Don’t tell the fellas in the “should I warm up my truck” thread!!

 

Lol. Yeah I would never do that normally but I think it was a school night for the kids and the night was really turning into a pita... no light, not being able to open the fridge, cell phones possibly dead in the morning, etc...

I've since bought a generator. I may have only done that for an hour or so, not sure.

 

Love it

 

Looks awesome! 'merica!

 

Best use of the 110 ever!!!
Merry Christmas

Finally got mine in for my kids to enjoy.

 

Have you actually done this, or are you guessing? The 100watt limit when in gear seems like this won't work without doing the 400 watt all the time mod, right? From what I can tell, most crockpots use more than 100watts.

 

Yeah, there are a lot of interesting claims on this thread. Half of the things people are claiming to power draw well over 400 watts. Either there's some bullshitting going on or these outlets are under rated. Personally I've only ever used the outlet to power LED lights, so I can't claim to know for sure. But I've seen those little 18 gauge wires that come from the inverter.
