Ok, I absolutely do not want to eat out at restaurants constantly on our road trip, so I purchased a crockpot. I should be good to go with the wattages I listed above, right?

The inverter has a continuous AC output power of 800w, a five minute AC output of 1000w and an AC surge capacity of 1600w.

Would I still be good if my inverter was a 800w, or even a 500w?
