As other have said, you can do this but there is a risk of using too much and causing a brown out. What that does is is when voltage drops below 105 volts. Some things are not affected by that low voltage, like a space heater. Many appliances are. Extension cords and hockey puck adapters can be affected. They can over heat and cause fires.
I would get a Kill-A-Watt and not go below 105 volts.
Yea, I've read that too, however I'm opting out of using the electrical heater, and will only be interested the RV when I need to use the computer or feel like using the game console, and as far as sleeping goes, well, I have lots of blankets. So far with just the monitor, one overhead light and the console running at the same time it comes to 2.96amps so estimated 5amps maybe 6amps max to account for trickle charge and other background "parasite" components. Would that cause a dip in voltage? I'm trying to keep the distance as low as possible. To get the most voltage pushed.
