Can I power a TV off my rear plug

[Neauxla]

Can I power a television off my rear outlet or is there not enough juice?

If your TV is within the wattage of the outlet, you'll be good. The built-in inverter will auto-shutoff if you exceed the wattage.

Maximum available capacity of the power outlet
■ While the vehicle is being driven
The maximum capacity of the power outlet is always 120 V AC/100W.
■ When the vehicle is stationary
The maximum capacity of the power outlet varies depending on
the position of the shift lever.
● The maximum capacity is 120 V AC/100 W when the shift lever
is in any position other than P or N.
● The maximum capacity is 120 V AC/400 W when the shift lever
is in P or N.
The maximum capacity of 400 W can only be restored by turning
the power outlet main switch off and then on again with the shift
lever in P or N.

Yeah, what he said.

A 32 inch LCD uses about 125-150 watts

Sweet. Sounds like it should work then

 

[Neauxla]

Does the vehicle have to be on for those wattages?

has to be on for the built in outlet, but a standalone inverter that you could wire to the battery for that wattage wouldn't be expensive

you might have a problem with the power supply overheating because its a modified sine wave but i doubt it

You haven't lived unless you've watched a good college football game over the air on a camping trip with some good buddies! Cheers!

Of course, you can, but I would like to ask you what's the reason you've decided to power off your TV this way.

Is the built in inverter output clean enough for sensitive electronics?

Some inverters output a modified sine wave, not sure how that is for electronics.

I find the plug to be useless other then charging stuff on the go.

They also make 12 volt TV's that plug into your cigarette lighter socket.
We have one in our camper.
