This is good advice. It will depend on the size of the inverter.

According to it's specs, this freezer is rated at 79 watts and 1.1 amps. Theoretically a 150 watt inverter should run it.

All comments with real good advice. Thank you all. I'm looking hard at Engel, but they are indeed spendy. At least on the internet, the Whynter looks real good because of the low amp/low watt specs. I'll do a bit more sleuthing. For me, it's 150 miles to the nearest town that might sell such an appliance (either Missoula or Idaho Falls, I'm midway between the two). Also, after the valuable input received herein, I'm probably looking for something with a higher capacity than 1.1 cubic foot. It's probably akin to building a shop or a skinning shed; bigger is always better.

I have used a smallish chest freezer in the back of the truck or in a hunting trailer for a lot of stuff. Hauled it all over the place and it has always come on when I plug it in. Been doing it for years.

This calculation will vary when confounded by the metric tonnage of catfish filets, obviously their introduction temperature after thermal mass has been calculated. I figure at least 147 variables, so for analysis, I've got to haul my trailer with the Cray computer, and I've got to bring Seymour Cray along to run the thing. At this point, how much will it affect my 20.87954921 mpg?


One important feature is that you need a MASD permit....and that little triangle patch with a explosive bottle on it.

I wouldn't be running too big a freezer off your truck. You will kill your battery. Takes more energy to keep freezing new stuff than to keep old stuff frozen. Inverters have a surge rating and a continuous rating. The standard used to be 3 times the rated amps of the freezer for it's start up surge. They don't always use this much. Inverters are far better at picking up surge loads (like compressor motor start ups) than generators.

Good luck!

We use to deliver groceries to man camp. We had 3 mounted in a cargo trailer. The worst thing was the vibration on them. Most lasted about a year with frequent use. So put a rubber mat under it and tie it down and you should be good to go. Vibration in your truck bed will be nothing compared to a cargo trailer on dirt roads.
