Power On Board

I have a question. I am looking to install this inverter:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1200-2400-Watt-Power-Inverter-Super-Heavy-Duty-NEW_W0QQitemZ9714759817QQcategoryZ85805QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem

It is 1200watt inverter that I want to put on a dual battery ford powerstroke superduty. Will this work OK for a truck that is running (not use the inverter if the engine is off?) I am planning on a 14 hour road trip and it will be on the entire time?

Thoughts? Cooling is proably not going to be an issue. THANKS

I wouldn't use that sucker with the engine off, you're right. That'll draw some power. I imagine it would be perfectly safe using it while driving or letting the engine run. If there's a setup that can handle 1200 watts, it would definately be a big truck.

Yeah I would have it only running when the engine was running.

you'll be absolutely fine. The thing is going to draw some pretty serious amperage, but if there ever was a vehicle to do it, you have it.
