I've used this in my h3 - I just plug it in the far left outlet, and tuck it down under the passenger seat. I like it because it's smaller than many inverters, plus it's solidly built. Only real problem I see with it is it isn't UL Listed.

I was looking at those APCs today. They have one for 49.95 that is rated for 350 Watts. Under 140 watts you can use the cigarette lighter cord, over 140 and you have to use the little cables and connect directly to the battery.
