Hi,
The wire to the cigarette lighter is probably not very beefy. If it is #10 then it can carry enough to do about 300 watts demand from the inverter. If it is #14 or #16 the inverter will be starving and will squeal at you.
Since you have the "power dome" get a dual cigarette lighter adapter. Plug one of the outlets into the inverter, and use the other with a "male to male" cigarette lighter cord to the 12 volt outlet in the RV.
There are other solutions as well.
OK, so you are saying I should plug the inverter into one of the Power Dome's 12v receptacles, and, using a power cord with a male 12v plug on each end, plug one into the other Power Dome receptacle, and the other into the RV 12v supply.
What would this do? I assume that power could flow into the power dome this way from the RV. It's not suppose to charge this way, I don't think, as it has a recharging port that the 12v charger plugs into, as well as one with a 110 house plug.
