We have a Coolatron that while driving down the road is plugged into the 12 volt plug powered by the house battery.
Due to van layout and accesorries , we use the 12 volt plug powered by the van's battery to power other acessories.
(Roadtrek 170 P with one house battery)
When we are using shore power should:
- we leave the cooler plugged into 12 volt outlet powered by the house battery.
- Or should be use the adapter and plug the cooler into the 120 volt plug.
My thoughts were to plug into the 120 volt and leave the on board charging system to top up the house battery and power the 12 volt lights.
It would be more effient with less load on it.
Any Thoughts?
