Plannin to wire an Inverter into my Ram 3500 charging system. I already have the inverter at no cost ,, thought I oughta do somethin with it. Thinkin I can wire this 2400 watt inverter into my truck bed toolbox. then run a #12 cord from inverter back to my trailer breaker panel and feed the refridgerator with 120 volt thru inverter. We got a full size double door residential frig and freezer.
Just thinkin I could run the fridge on 120 V. instead of LP. while driving. Since we do alot of long distant trips to get south or to the rockies.
Has anybody installed an Inverter to there tow vehicle ?? Can yas give your pro and cons. Any advice or instruction greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a fine idea to me.

Do you have the dual alternators in your Ram?

I've always wondered what someone would do with the Cummins dual 440 amp alternators, sounds like a perfect setup for a big inverter.

I often run a generator in my truck bed, connected to the trailer... this lets me charge my battery bank at 125 amps rather than the 5 or so that the truck supplies.

My suggestion is, rather than run a cord into the breaker panel, run an extension from your shore-power cord/inlet.
