Not the easiest project, and not cheap either. The thick wiring can be hard to route to the rear of the TV, and the length will set you back $$$.Huntindog wrote:Something is wrong with your connection or the battery was near full charge.
Wizard was recommending NOT running the fridge while underway.
And besides, depending on what the draw is, the truck may not keep the battery charged up. Most TVs really just trickle charge the TT batteries. The issue is the size of the charge line more than the altenater output. I once measured it on one of my vehicles and got 1.6 amps!
Truck should easily keep the fridge running between pedestals... even stopping for fuel or lunch. OK maybe the battery will be a little low upon arrival and then you plug in. That is what the trailer battery is for.
Some here HAVE done it though with good results.
Myself, I looked at what was involved and decided to take another path.
