What have you plugged into 110v?

Wonder how I might use it if ever. Real world says I’d want more wattage.

Theoretically, we want more amps since watts is a product of volts and amps. I passed on that option as I have both a power cell and a 2500 watt gas generator/inverter that tuck neatly into the corners of my bed. I just didn't have anything that would need the truck power, but interested in how others respond back, I could always add aftermarket if I see a good use that might helpful.

Interesting post, I haven’t even tried to use mine yet!

I tried using my small DeWalt air compressor once but it wouldn't kick on. Not sure the power demands from it. That's the only thing I've tried in mine.

This looks like it.

I have used for laptops while traveling cross country
I have also used it for charging my Jump Start Pack

On my 2009 & the current 2016 Ram, the power unit itself is mounted on the passenger seat frame, right under the seat cushion

I have never researched the power unit available for the Rams with the Ram Box.
I would think that you should be able to run power tools

Especially now that Ford can Power a Home during a black out
Chevy either has or is working on something similar

Ram is likely doing the same thing

The 400w aux power plugs are basically a gimmick. Yes they’ll charge a laptop or tool batteries, but most power tools(corded) are out. Maybe they have more power available with dual alternators, that I don’t know. I charge my jump pacs via 12v charger. Tries once to run a power tool and kicked off immediately. A true capability to run a 15amp circuit would be welcome.

mobile video screens for the kids can use either the 12v round plug or the 110v plug. The round plug falls out sometimes if the wires get caught or kicked, the house style plug never falls out.

Also I use a hand held VHF radio and a battery powered antenna for positioning for work. I keep chargers for both of those in the truck and they use the 110v outlet.

Never thought of an air freshener. I guess it only comes on when the truck is on too. Nifty.

That should work, wonder why?
