Inverter

No problem running the ice maker, some interior lights and laptop etc.
Just watch the amount of output the alternator is pushing, and adjust
accordingly.

Thanks Bill & Pete I wasn't planing to run the air with the inverter
because it is only a 1500 watt. I was hoping to run the ice maker & laptop on
the
road without working the 160 to hard & cooking it. I do run with lights on
in the day to.

Don:
a 160 amp alternator will put out 1920 watts. An airconditioner will draw
about 1500 watts, this includes the inefficiences of the inverter, so you will
have only 400 watts or so for other things.
If you are driving during the day with your lights on that will easily
gobble up the rest of your power.
So, although a 2500 watt inverter will power your AC, and with your engine
alternator putting out 160 amps, gets real hot then, I would say it would not
be too wise to run air conditioner with your engine.
One option, expensive though, is to install the 300 amp alternator, hmmm
maybe runnning the generator would be cheaper LOL
