Hey There Braintrust,

So I looked at the fuse block and #16 (the rear power outlet) is a 20AMP fuse. According to my math, that means the max AC wattage (via an inverter) it can handle would be a 264 Watt output...right?

Here's my formula (trying to solve for x):

x WattsAC ÷ 12 x 1.1 = 20amps

...based on the formula: AC Watts ÷ 12 x 1.1= DC Amps

Highschool was a loooong time ago, so be easy on me!

No, at 20 amps you have 240 watts (12x20)
On the Ac side from the inverter is limited to 240 watts less about a 20% loss due to inefficiency of the inverter. So the inverter would be about 200 watts max.
