We are 4 months into our new travel trailer and having never owned one before I have some questions about battery charging. I was wondering if while camped, would plugging back into my running tow vehicle charge the battery? We don’t plan on any extended boondocking but for one or two times a year for maybe 5 days maximum. No ac, tv or microwave required. However our refrigerator is 12 volt and we have a max air fan that would be running all night possibly. Just looking at our options. Generator, solar or just run the car. Trailer has 1 12v. battery, and most likely low quality.
You haven’t been back to post how your test went, but a DC compressor fridge and 1 battery sounds like about the worst possible setup for boondocking.
This model appears to have been made with only fhu in mind.
Good luck. I suspect you’ll need to do a couple different things to make this work for extended use without hookups.
