Are we overlooking the simple and obvious? After doing some digging around, I noticed that the power lead on the trailer/truck camper hookup is only hot when truck is on. What if I was to put an extra deep cycle battery in between the truck plug and the power converter. Then I could just shut off the fridge when camper is not in use so it doesn't try to run off of 12v when in storage?
In theory, the truck would charge the battery and the camper would use the battery? am I too far fetched, do I need the solenoid?
