Next time you are at a truck stop pick up a 12 volt crock pot. Uses a cig lighter end. I have been using mine for about 10 years, works great. Takes about 6 hours and supper is done.
I have used in my van when tent camping, really a bad idea because you smell your food cooking for about 4 hours before you get to eat. When using the TT I put the crock pot in the sink and tie the lid to the handles with a small cord. No problems or issues. Close the stopper in the sink if you are worried about spillage.
I use my cooker a lot when we are on the road. Nice to have supper ready when you stop for the day.
When I first got the cooker I wanted to know the effect it had on a battery so I filled it with water, hooked it to a battery and let it run. Took two days before the battery was down to 12 volts. I do not have the cooker right here, but I have a 5 amp fuse in the power cord and it does not blow.
I have also used my large 8gt cooker with my 800 watt inverter, a crock pot does not draw much power.
