| * **crockpot**/slow cooker typically require many hours of cooking. Example: [[https://amzn.to/3nTNQJs|RoadPro 1wt slow cooker]] (**96w**), which has a lid retainer for mobile use. Specs say it heats from 140F - 170F. | * **heated lunchboxes**/warmers are large enough to hold hot lunches. They are typically better suited to warming precooked meals rather than cooking from scratch. They come in "lunchbox" and "suitcase" styles. |
| * **heated lunchboxes**/warmers are large enough to hold hot lunches. Example: [[https://amzn.to/3xShcN6|Travelisimo 1.5L warmer]] (12v/**40w**) | * **lunchbox** - hard exterior, typically better insulated tops and higher power. |
| | * [[https://amzn.to/3ixmp6k|RoadPro RPSC-197]] (12v/120w) - the most popular model |
| | * [[https://amzn.to/3xShcN6|Travelisimo 1.5L warmer]] (12v/**40w**) |
| | * there are several externally-ribbed RoadPro clones but they have less documentation: [[https://amzn.to/351jjoa|Zento]], [[https://amzn.to/3JzhYnw|Vaygway]], [[https://amzn.to/3iq3Ukv|ZonePro]]. Of these, only the ZonePro lists wattage (120w). |
| | * **suitcase** - soft exterior, often lightly-insulated tops and lower heating power. |
| | * [[https://amzn.to/3ufCyTH|Hot Logic Mini]] - a popular model. (12v/45w) |
| | * [[https://amzn.to/3ul2Yn2|Sabotheat]] (12v/90w). Note: has heat levels and timer. |

Warm canned soup, etc. Example: [[https://amzn.to/3tyO9Lj|Wagan heated mug]] (12v/**24w**). | * **heated mugs** can be used to keep beverages hot, or heat small amounts of water for tea, coffee.

| If you wanted to extract more power from the alternator you could wire in [[electrical:12v:alternator|an isolator]] (plain solenoid or VSR). Instead of feeding an auxilliary battery this isolator would be used to pull more current into the living area. You could run 12v loads directly, or attach an inverter's input wires to the isolator's outputs.((positive to isolator, negative to chassis ground)) | If you wanted to extract more power from the alternator you could wire in [[electrical:12v:alternator|an isolator]] (plain solenoid or VSR).
