a 1100 watt sandwich press and 500 watt mini fridge. Can you please recommend the right size DC to AC power
inverter to be used in my food truck?

The best 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter option for you would probably be a 6000 watt 12 volt to
120 volt standard power inverter. This size DC to AC power inverter will allow you to run all your devices
at the same time, which will allow you to hand a heavy volume of orders on your food truck. Depending on the
length of time you would like to serve your customers you will have make sure the battery bank is large
enough to keep up with the AC load damand for you usage period. Make sure you run tests prior to taking the
DC to AC system on the road, this way you can assure your never stuck with out power. Most of the devices
you are looking to run on the a food truck are very high surging devices with heating elements. For example
you deep frier can surge as high as 2 times the continuous wattage to about 3000 watts, therefore if you are
planning on using it all day you will need a very strong amp hour battery bank.

The 6000 watt DC 12 volt and 24 volt to AC 120 Volt power inverter also include a hard wire kit which will
allow you install a sub panel to hard wire your device into the panel and operate them with the power
inverter. This is a nice option for a food truck so that you do not require several extension cords running
all throughout the rear kitchen of the truck. The Royal Power (PI-6000) 6000 Watt Power Inverter includes
steel stabilizing brackets inside the casing which makes it preform well in mobile application. Which ever
power inverter that is used this will be a key feature to look for, some dc to ac power inverter are
especially made for home use and will get easily damaged from the bumps and shocks of the road. Also if you
need to look at the output AC current quality to make sure that your devices are not damaged over a long
