    Microwave power use tested vs Induction vs electric kettle

    The power plate with amps and volts will give actual power use. However, YES, microwaves are advertised using their MAGNETRON OUTPUT WATTS, NOT POWER USE!

    Reaver's Squaredrop Camper Build!!

    Yeah, but that'll keep things topped up, without having to worry about it. I don't currently run a fridge in there all the time, but we'll see over the winter how much I get during the day. I think I should get enough to keep one in there full time, and not have to worry.

    Very cool! edit* I have 400w of solar charging and in the sunniest situation, I've only ever seen a max realized wattage of about 320. More often it's ~250-275. For what it's worth... But it's still quick at recharging.

    ...aluminum cut, and mounted up there. I've also been working on the diesel heater build design, and will have all the parts here to start building that this week. I also just ordered 400w of solar to put on the trailer. Hopefully, that eliminates having to worry about charging, like....ever.

    ...if needed for more (whatever goes up there would go in the truck bed when I'm not towing it of course). I'm pretty sure I'll be going with solar power generators as well.

    My build thread 2020 ford f450 platinum

    Yeah figured I'd have to be over the cab and possibly the engine bay with how big some of these are. Thank you for letting me know what those are called so I can start looking at them. I'm hoping to have any part that flips out of the tent, where it hangs off the edge of the vehicle, open onto...
