I'm heading out to go ride atvs for the weekend and my wife said shed fix a Vinison roast for me but she had another idea, for me to cook it on the way in my new truck that has 110 power. Its a crock pot pulling 150 watts on high, 130 on low. and i wanted and to see if anybody knows for sure, on my six hour drive, can i fix the roast in the truck with the factory 110?
Yep, the real challenge is the wait. She's got a recipe that's so good, it's too easy to be true but that's another story. I have two knuckleheads going with me that are like bulls in a China shop. The thought crossed my mind to run an extension cord to the toolbox in bed to keep from knocking it over or smelling it until its done. That would be a great suprise huh, open the toolbox and wham, smells like dinner! Well, we are heading out so i think im gonna try it, ill let yall know. Thanks for the encouragement!
I'm sure that Ford specs out the max wattage for the 110v outlet, in the owner's manual. I'm surprised your crock pot doesn't draw more current than that. I would use 12v if possible, to avoid frying the inverter in the truck.
The inverter is 150 watts and overload protected. Mostly meant for power tool chargers. Could work with low settings on the crock pot. I just don't know how the food would stay in the pot given the not so velvet smooth ride of the 250.
