I have a Toyota Tacoma and they have an inverter in the center console that drives a 110V outlet in the bed. There is a small company that sells a plug and play wiring harness to tap the inverter for the 110V outlet in the cab. I bought a desk version of an outlet that has the 2 USB plugs...
Another helpful use: I installed an override switch so that I can turn it on while moving forward. It is really handy to be able to look at the hitch, safety chains, electrical hookup, etc. without stopping. It has saved my bacon a couple of times.
Flipper's analogy is right. Volts = potential so the analogy would be gallons in the reservoir. Amps = flow rate so gallons pouring through the spillway. Watts = volts X amps or total energy being delivered.

Right. You baked in a bunch of assumptions and decided you were more experienced and that I needed to learn something from you. Of course there is the possibility it could be knocked against something. But I had the exact same setup 4Runner and had nary a problem after 5 years of use. I do...
Gotta love these forums for the instant criticism in the absence of any facts, e.g.
- Where I drive.
- Height of the truck and the commensurate height of the nozzle.
- My experience level.
... .
I was hoping for the 4 switch system referred to above ("but I run their 4 switch unit."). I don't need 6 switches but cannot find a system that offers less than 6.
The experts will weigh in soon, I hope, but it is much more efficient to use 12V DC. Running through an inverter to get to 110V AC and then reverse it for the fridge creates losses.
