Induction cooktop
Does an induction cooktop run off of the inverter or is it genset only if not plugged in. I am referring to a cooktop in a large DP. Tiffin, Newmar, or Berkshire. thanks

On another forum an induction question got me to check if my recently installed 2 burner Cuisinart was drawing power all of the time. We dry camp often in the summer so every amp counts. Turns out it draws 3 amps DC even when not using. Over 24 hours that’s a lot of wasted power. I may have to add a remote switch to make it easier to turn it off at the outlet.
