Back-powering 110V system while travelling..
I know that I can, and do, use my home generator by plugging the two outlets from the genny into house outlets that are powered by different busbars in the breaker box, (after shutting off the master), but I'm unsure if I can do this in the TT.
My plan would be to connect an inverter to the 12v Winegard outlet and then plug the inverter outlet back onto a 110V outlet in the trailer. I'm assuming there's only one busbar. This should energize the whole system and allow me to power the fridge in my outdoor kitchen while I make a long trip and arrive with cold beverages in the fridge, (I usually only take short trips so I chill the fridge and contents and drive to the location arriving with cold contents still).
My concern is the converter. The power will essentially come from the TV engine but I'm worried what might happen since I'm sort of making a loop. Does anyone else do this and are there any specifics I should know or should I just not do it.
I would also turn the internal fridge from Auto to LP while in transit to reduce the load on the inverter.
Also, since my TT is 15 miles away doe anyone know the wattage or make/model of the fridge in a Bullet 31BHPR outdoor kitchen so I can decide if I can use an existing inverter, (400W), or I should use one with a greater capacity.
