Electric cooler off of 12 volts
Just purchased Coleman Electric cooler. It runs on 12 volts or 120 with adapter. We have class C motorhome and in a seasonal campground with electric hookup. We would prefer to plug cooler into 12 v...

Larry, since your are permanently plugged in to 120V, your converter should supply plenty of 12V to keep it running. If it is the 40qt., the web site says it draws 5 Amps. Even the smallest converter should handle that easily. The only thing I would caution about would be if you have a WFCO converter, get a DC volt meter, permanently mount it somewhere easy to see, and wire it to the output of the converter. It should read somewhere around 13.2 - 13.6 volts all the time. If it doesn't, start checking things because the converter may have failed and your battery will discharge fairly quickly.
Hope this helps.
