POWER and TOPPERS

[DeadSetMonkey]

Hey out there. I am wrapping my head around adding a pop-up camper top (like Tune, GoFAst, Oru, etc) to my 2024 Trailhunter.
Wondering how to make best use of the inverter 120V power already in the bed?
Goal is to get heat (electric? or propane?), USD power, and induction cook top functions.
Wondering what people have done for those need and how they have utilized the Tacoma bed power.

Use Tacoma power to charge a Li battery bank?
Run accessories directly plugged into 120V plug?
Where to tap into 12V power?

Broad questions to be sure. Curious how people have approached powering up there campers.

Many thanks

I'm very early on in my planning but I don't want to have to get into a scenario where I have to idle my truck in generator mode for an extended period of time to run devices.

I'm planning on a separate battery bank plugged into the inverter and then plug my devices into that, itll do both 12 and 120.

This will keep my fridge and whatever other garbage I brought with me powered up for the night or weekend and I can recharge that as I drive.

I dont plan on a heater but if I did it would probably be diesel or propane. Electric heat just takes waaay too much capacity.
