Use of AC Outlet in Bed

Easy and very useful. I have a small 4 hp vacuum i keep on the truck to vacuum interior

 

I'e ran a grinder off of it, a heat gun, a blender, a soldering iron, a dremel, charged my drone batteries, ran my snap on worklight, ran an electric grill while camping. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Mines a 2nd gen though but I'm pretty sure they're the same.

It counter acts the vibrations when I come to a stop.




YA that's it.......

 

I've used it to run my DA polisher after a wash.

 

I bet you could run a wicked set of christmas lights.

 

I leave my dewalt radio plugged up and charging when I go to the beach, then when on the sand, plug up the iphone to the aux jack and tunes for 5-6 hrs. Better than leaving windows down and getting all that surf spray on the inside of the cab..

 

I ran a sump pump in an emergency. It only ran it for a few minutes before it kicked out

 

As with most, to pump up the air mattress. I bring a 50 ft. extension cord to reach my tent from the truck. I once used it to turn on a light bulb on a clamp, to set up camp in the dark.

 

Wife used it for her breast pump.

 

Do you guys run the plugged in electronics with the car running, acc mode, or off?

 

I've used mine to air up inner-tubes, an air mattress, etc. I'd be curious to see if it would run an electric chainsaw. Think those are well over the wattage limit in the inverter. I added a pair of connectors, + and -, to the interior ceiling of the shell, which allowed my lighting. I've now mounted an AC inverter to sit higher up so that I can use this to charge or run a laptop without turning on the AC. I don't worry much about the battery not starting the car... haven't had an issue yet, but I don't run it for all that long. Also keep a Black and Decker power station which can jumpstart, compress air, and provide decent AC backup.

 

ACC mode for light loads, engine at idle for anything with a large power load, and off (with installed separate 12v->110V inverter)

 

I use mine while camping. I plugged in a powerstrip and charged everybody's phones, tablets, e-readers, e-cigarettes, and our various bluetooth speakers. It was really convenient.

And yes... we camp and still use phones and tablets and such... judge away.

 

I believe it's an 18' string that fits perfectly? Whatever the standard size is.
