It's our football tailgating machine, so throughout the fall everything from a 55" TV to fans, space heaters, crockpot, tea kettle, camp refrigerator, and more. I love it.

I'm thinking about trying all electric for cooking purposes next season - induction cooktop, electric flat top, etc. Would save me taking propane in!

I was potholing for a water line leak. Used my shop vac in our very sandy soils. Cheap vac-truck.

Going on a year and the closest I've gotten is the wireless charger.
I've used my 5 ton log splitter. The front receptical wasn't powerful enough, I had to use the rear receptical. I've used microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, electric Skillet allwor fine. I made up a cable to attach my 240 volt 30 amp receptical in the bed of the truck to a generator receptical at my main panel and ran my home off my truck.
Since my main service has a bonded neutral and my truck has a bonded neutral I had to leave the ground from the truck disconnected from the plug going to the generator receptical. Since both are bonded, neutral and ground are still properly connected and everything works great.

Yes i found the same, the two duplex recepticals in the bed are on separate 3600 watt inverters to create the 180 degree phase shift for 240 volts but still limited to 7200 watts total for all bed recepticals.

Boot warmer/dryers for snow skiing and a nice coffee maker make a big difference. I have a 12v coffee maker on my boat with big alligator clips like jumper cables. I think this will be much better... Mostly because there is less pounding over the waves.
