I need to purchase a power converter for the truck . We have one but it isn't big enough I don't think. I'll be on the road a lot and wont have time to do it other than in the truck. I've looked at several online but don't know what size to get. Any help would be appreciated.<br>

Look at the power supply for what you are wanting to run.
<br>
<br>It will have 2 numbers on it in the fine print: Voltage in Volts (ex 110V) and Current in Amps (ex 1A).
<br>
<br>Power converters are rated in Watts which is Volts * Amps. Thus in the example above you need at least 110watt, probably a 120-150W to be safe.<br><br><br>Edited to add: if what you are running has a power converter (the little black box on the plug) make sure you use INPUT voltage & current not output. Clue will be voltage should be 110-120V.<br>

As a rule when wiring something like that use a guage wire heavier than is used on the device you're using, if aren't absolutely sure you know how to do it a mechanic shop can do the electrical work for you. Be sure to put a fuse in it as a precaution.
I don't know about where you are, but here sams club has a 750 watt inverter for like $30. Thats the cheapest I've seen one in a while. 750 would certainly have no trouble running your nebulizer, vest, charge your laptop, or just about anything else you could need in the car.
