What are you plugging in to your On-Board Power outlets in your Lightning?

[Lightning Rod]

I am new to EVs and I am anxiously awaiting my Lariat ER build week of 01/09/23. The idea of having so many 120V outlets all over the truck and being able to plug practically anything in is kinda cool. I like to RC (Radio controlled vehicles) and my girlfriend and I like to go to different places with my DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine Camera Drone and take spectacular 4K aerial photos and video. I fly looking thru a small 6 inch controller screen. I fly kinda far away (even though you're not supposed to fly further than the line-of-sight but that's another thread). I always wondered how much more accurate I could fly up to and around objects while looking at a 32" 4K monitor while in flight. I could much more accurately navigate my UAV. I could also plug in and charge my other batteries instead of using the 12 volt outlet charger.

I also look forward to going camping... the possibilities will be countless!

My kid has an electric blanket in the back seat.

Small electric heater in my deer stand too keep me warm while I shoot down drones.

Mini fridge in the front. Milwaukee charger under the back seat. Christmas lights in the bed.

At the moment I have a mini fridge up in the Frunk. I plugged in my refrigerator when the power went out, with an extension cord. Also a power saw once.

I plugged in a light on an extension cord so I could see to make some electrical connections with the main breaker to the house turned off. I am adding a sub-panel in the garage for hard wiring my charger.

-Carrying a 1/2" electric corded impact wrench for tire changes.
-Got the Bodega T50 refrigerator/freezer (freezer temperature not that steady, not sure if taking out middle divider if whole unit could be a freezer. I think frozen foods and a microwave (not purchased yet) are the way to go.
-Installed a Reliance "Through the Wall Kit" with a 30A 240Vac extension cord and heavy 120Vac extension cords for inside the house.
-Yep, a heated blanket, and a 750/1500W ceramic heater.
-Hoping to do some astrophotography out in the backcountry. Need to find an easy way to convert all the truck white lights to a muted red for eye sensitivity preservation. How can one temporarily cover lights with red taillight repair tape?

I've ben routinely using a welder and plasma cutter plugged into the 240v. Works great.

Hitachi magic wand for those longer road trips....

I am using the Bodega T50 frig in the back passenger side floor with the seat up, plugged into 110Vac so as not to run down the 12Vdc battery. I think the height is 18”, so it should fit anywhere, but frunk might heat up and defeat the idea of keeping things cool!

Sorry, no pic, must use imagination for now.

Yep, got that! But really want temporary (Velcro?) covers for any bright zone lights. Would be a lotta work for lazy me.
