However, your idea of going 12V to 12V directly using the RV's built-in charger/inverter is very interesting. You might have to hand-make a special cable with a male 12V plug on each end to be able to easily go from RV 12V receptacle to cab dash 12V receptacle........
.
Yes, in our Class C the house 12v socket in the "entertainment" area for TV etc (instead of a bed up there) is just above the dash socket, so not that long a run for a male-male jumper.
The TV 12v up there is confirmed not to be on the engine battery, but is on the house battery bank.
Very low amps for this job, so skinny wiring ok.
