The method you are using is perfectly fine. It happens to be one of two different ways that can be utilized while dry camping. It also works when connected to shore power, you don't have to think about a thing.
It's doubtful the OP has a built in Inverter, But they could use a small portable "pure sine" if they choose to do so, which in fact, would eliminate the need for any special power adapter cord altogether.
The two methods are:
#1 - A special proprietary power adapter cord that goes directly to any 12 volt source, IE: a receptacle on the wall or the battery itself.
#2 - The method you use, which converts DC current to AC current & uses the same power cord used at home.
ON EDIT: SkiSmuggs & I were typing at the same time, he has referenced the direct DC current power adapters. Also, method # 1 is the best for conserving energy.
