Question about adding outlet to bed

[mrmo]

I think they were one of the parts places i tried to source the bed outlet and connector jumper. I want to find a good spot near the batt to put in a 1000w or similar inverter, switch it to one of the Aux switches (on/off), then make a run back to the bed and connect up. I was told that the bed outlet and connector cant be had, were unknown ETA or had unknown ETA

Has anyone had any recent luck with finding these items in stock? Everywhere is either out of stock or they cancel my order a day later and say they can't source the parts.

Ive tried all the major mopar parts houses and a few dealers. Latest response was possibly in stock end of May

Remember that 1000 watts of 120 is going to draw about 83 amps at 12V DC. Good luck. I am going to get a Jackery 1000 or something like it and run a switched 12V to it from my aux switches. Then I'll plug my 12V fridge and other 120V stuff into the Jackery. Then recharge the Jackery off the Jeep battery. Easier.

I ended up getting mine from directmoparparts.com. Took a few months, I think I ordered in November and received them in February. Had to send a friendly reminder that I still wanted the order, but ultimately got them.

I’d like to know if someone has run in to my situation. I have a gladiator Mojave with the inverter and the outlet on the back seat, I ordered all the parts from the list above and everything went smooth until I took apart my dash and realized I don’t have a plug for the dash switch.

I ordered mine from a dealer in TX I think. Got them in about 2 weeks. This was about 2 months ago.

When I ordered mine I had to get the Dash panel and the outlet separate from BAM or MOPAR wholesalers. For the outlet I used eBay and for the dash panel after using google for 30 min it linked me to a dealership out in California that had the piece.

Same here, now I'm exhausted

New to Gladiators (1 month in) and site here. Did my searches for adding mopar/factory bed outlet setup. I see parts list above, Mini Tazer step, great!

1. With that parts list do factory options on truck matter? I have a 2022 Mojave, no options otherwise (MT, Cloth, etc.). 2022 Mojave base has 8.4 Screen, premium audio, rear seat 115v outlet.

2. Once installed how much can this bed outlet handle for load? While motor running I'd hope to be able to charge a 20v max battery, or maybe plug in a small cooler, or an air mattress pump. Motor off, aux on, maybe charge some USB minor devices or run a small lamp.

Thx

The factory installed inverter is 400 watts, shared between the cab and bed outlets.

If I have a battery & inverter in the bed, I was thinking doing all the plumbing back to the cab but instead of plugging to the inverter, expose the plug in the cab, so I can run a fridge or something even if the engine’s off.

does that seems reasonable? I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the other way around if not plugged to the 400w inverter?

You can install a separate inverter, and wire up an outlet in the cab. You just need to make sure that the main battery is not drained by the inverter. If you want to use the bed outlet wiring to feed the existing inside plug from the separate inverter, that will not work without some major rewiring.

Curious about this. What year are your trucks? Mine is a 2021. Wondering if possibly they used a different harness on newer Gladiators who don't order the option.....
