lol

anyways, i bough a 1500w 3000w peak Coleman power inverted off ebay for like $100. A guy had a bunch of factory new scratched ones. Something that big could run a small fridge, microwave and some other stuff

i like that small fridge idea i never thought of that i would probably only put a fridge in it what kind of inverter would you recomend for just that? " if you have ever seen these vans they have an extention for the roof so you can almost stand up without hiting your head" i was thinking of puting a small sceen mounted up front with a ps2 or an xbox to play some games i also want to put a system in it too its got alot of space for that i have some ideas for it but i dont know what would be best to run what i have in mind so that it sound good as far as brands of amp sub combos im sorry about my spelling and grammer

maybe one like this

just get the biggest you can afford, look at the continuos wattage rating, depending on the fridge and if you are running a microwave and other stuff it may trip the breaker. You will have to look at the current draw of what you are using on it. I bought mine to run my standup foreman grill at tailgate partys. You want one that direct wires to the batter not the stupid clamp on ones, those are gonna be too small, something that uses 4 gauge wire or bigger
