Wattage Use For TV/Video Game
How Many Watts Does It Take To Run an Small TV and A Video Game?? This Company i'm thinking about Jumping Ship to Says They Allow Up To 1000 Watts and I really want to bring my Xbox360 Along with a Decent Size TV... I don't want a Mircowave, i just need a little fridge, a croc pot, and a geroge foreman grill and i'm good lol...

There are different "flavors" of X-Box 360 and depending on which one you have it will consume between 160 to 210 watts. That leaves you say, 700 watts left with a little buffer. So you would have to have a serious tv to use all of that up. You're good-to-go unless you figured out how to install a 75" plasma in the sleeper. You could run them on 400W. |
Your also probably not going to be running everything at once either so you should be ok........unless of course your a Super Duper Super Trucker and will be having everything running at the same time while also driving down the road and yammering away on the CB.:thumbsup:

ok... i'll take that in consideration.. i dont plan on using everything at once.. i do need the conversion box but i don't think that uses many watts... so yeah i'll look into a small 500 watter.. How much will a small cooler/fridge use??

Example for a fridge: 110 volts times 2 amps = 220 watts Plus remember that there are lots of 12V devices out there (including refrigerators) that wouldn't even use the inverter. |
For a frig, check out the units like "NORCOLD". They'll make ice for you, and store ice-cream. But, they do not use a seperate inverter. They wire directly into the 12V system. May run about $500 or so. There are different makes, and different sizes too. Prices vary from one to the other.
I run a crock pot on a 300 watt, TV is wired for 12V, computer and crock pot work fine at he same time. Coffee pot is 12V. And, use a butane stove to fry my eggs. |
A couple of links you might try:

That's nice to know you don't need a big watt inverter. Why do people have 2000 watts if 500-750 will do?
