I Need A Tiny Microwave

Any pointers? 2015 Freightliner if anyone drives one and can tell me what size microwave you use, or an I dreaming a pipe dream?

My only thought would be what size power inverter you would need. Microwaves pull pretty hard on startup so I'm not sure what inverter you would use our what you're allowed to hook up in your truck.

When I drove for Prime, they have inverters and APU's on all their trucks. I found an fairly inexpensive microwave at Walmart for about $50. Fairly small (a bit on the low power side) and fit on the shelf in the cabinet behind the passenger seat just fine in my 2012 Freightliner Cascadia. The only issue I had was that I had to pull it out each time I wanted to use it (did not want to mount it because that would require me drilling holes for a shelf).

APU:

Auxiliary Power Unit

On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.

Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

Yeah, that's what I think I'm going to have to do. I'm about 98% site this truck has an APU , 100% sure it has the inverter.
