The Rivian has a pretty weak 1500W total output limit on its 120V outlets. I’m always paranoid of tripping this limit (and causing expensive damage) when I’m camping and cooking food, boiling water, or making coffee with power from the truck. So, I got this meter for $10 to measure my power draw

That's a 12.5 amp draw.
Many of my house breakers trip at 15 amps.
So not much wiggle room to be tripping breakers
unless your using a 20 amp breaker circuit or higher.
