Budget Truck Inverter: Energizer 2000 Watt Inverter
It’s almost not fair to call this inverter a “budget” inverter. It holds its own against the more expensive inverters that we also recommend. It has a built in LCD display that lets you know what is going on with a quick glance, which lets you get your eyes right back on the road.
It also comes with two USB “A” ports, they put out 2.4 amps, which is more than enough to charge a phone and tablet at the same time. It also uses and inline fuse, which means that if something unexpected does happen, you don’t need to rip the entire thing apart to get back into action.

Xantrex PROWatt 2000: A Great Truck Inverter at a Great Price
We really liked the PROwatt series. It is a serious piece of equipment that has plenty of Input and output features. A built in USB port will allow you to charge your electronic devices much faster than typical vehicular power outlets will (including tablets, which need too much current for a standard charger in a truck).
It has a built in display that allows you to see the current voltage and output power. It does have a built in 250 amp fuse. We recommend using an in line fuse at a slightly lower voltage in order to protect your investment.
