Now there's a thought! I could just run the extension to the Battery Minder as I don't need any 110 volt at all. Great idea, thanks.
The only issue for me is that I don't know how to turn off my converter.
If I never plan to go in the RV during the winter, I should use the battery disconnect. However, I do like to check on things and sometimes even run the furnace and camp out. If I don't use the disconnect, does the Battery Minder affect the charger/converter in any way?
My converter is on it's own circuit breaker. I just turn that CB off, then plug in the Battery Minder.
I have never run the Battery Minder and the converter at the same time so I don't know what would happen, probably nothing. The converter stays connected to the battery unless the battery disconnect switch is set to disconnect.
If you want to use the RV in the winter, disconnect the Battery Minder from the battery and turn on the battery disconnect and the converter CB.
