What gauge did you use?
none, although we'll have an extinguisher onboard as well as a smoke detector. but its a very good thought to keep in mind.
the inverter can only supply 300w, we couldn't even run a hairdryer for a minute. its only meant to supply power to the APAP and possibly a random laptop charger or phone charger on a whim. there are circuit breakers on the positive lead, and internally in the inverter, and the overload protection in the powerstrip itself as well in the case of overdrawing or a surge.
both the powerstrip and outlet line are 14 gauge. that can carry well over 1500 watts.
I've got a 4000w generator. I went overkill and got a 50' length at 10 gauge. I'm pretty sure I could build a suspension bridge out of it.
