Should be plenty of power
Sorry, there was a problem.

The outlet may have this as a maximum number limit printed somewhere on or near the 12VDC outlet. If not, then check the owners manual for clues. Next, find the power rating of the tv and the gaming console. Add the power rating of the TV and gaming console together for the total power in Watts that the inverter must support. In addition to the power consumed by the TV and gaming machine you must also include the power inverter which has a conversion efficiency of 90%. That means, when the inverter is ON and powering some device connected to it's AC outlet, the inverter is also drawing some power in order to operate. For example, if a 100 Watt lamp was connected to the inverter, at 90% efficiency the inverter would consume about 10 Watts to operate. The 100 Watt lamp plus the inverter power requirements puts a 110Watt load on the 12VDC source which is typically a battery but could also be an accessory outlet like the one in your truck. In the example above, the trucks 12VDC outlet must be rated for at least 110 Watts, preferably higher for greater reliability.
