I tailgated a game yesterday. Found out that an electric skillet at 1500 watts too much for outlets. Thankfully tested early in the day to do a plan B. Good news is a crock pot at 300 watts is aOK. so instead of quesadillas, I made chili. Plugged in the center console on the drive to the stadium using the one at the base of the rear seats. Just kept it on the floor. Removed the floormat so the rubberized flooring gave it a bit more grip.
Vehicle was perfect for a few reasons:
1) it was raining at times, so the tailgate and even the rear passenger seats were used. Everyone dug exploring the interior zipper and hidden storage.
2) cargo management system table — awesome. Staged the crockpot and accoutrements on it.
3) tailgate lights. As it was getting darker, helped keep the party going and with cleanup.
wish I took pics. Forgot with the weather and socializing
So the real point of this is asking experienced tailgaters and campers for favorite electric accessories when staged. I may get a separate power pack that could handle my existing skillet but plugging into the rear standard or 12v would be good. Searching for a sub-500w griddle isn’t easy to find, if one exists.
