So it would seem that the regular a/c power outlet provided can handle just bare minimum of power, it's actually pretty weak.
Is there a way to increase the power by either a simple mod or installing a whole new unit?
I have a high powered laptop, amongst other things, that tend to shut it down when attempting to use. I need roughly 2500-3000w to run steadily.
Any advice is appreciated.

Seriously? That's more power than a typical household outlet provides. That must be a heckuva laptop. Just a tidbit to consider: To provide 3000 watts you'll need 250 amps at 12 volts. And you'll need that at the power inverter, so the longer your run, the larger your wire to minimize voltage drop. You're looking at cabling roughly the size of that running to your starter or winch. And your battery life at that draw will be nil. Maybe you should be looking into generators.

Yeah it is a heck of a laptop and draws alot but not just for that but for other equipment. I'm probably going to be just adding one rather than modding the existing one. My thought was running off a second alternator if that was possible.
