Adapter

Postby gypsyrose1126 » Sat Jun 03, 2017 11:38 am

So I am thinking of adding a 2nd battery to my tt so I don't have to worry about running out of juice, especially for this upcoming trip in a week. When I was talking to them, he mentioned adding a 12 volt adapter. He said that several people like them as you can plug in your TV when you are Boondocking. I am not concerned with the TV ,as i seldom use it. however you can also plug in a 12 volt hair dryer. If any of you had seen me without doing something with my hair for couple days, OMG! :shock: Has anyone used this type of adapter?

Rosemary, the more juice you use, without keeping the battery or batteries charged, it won't matter how many batteries you have. That said I do recommend a second and a 12 volt receptacle is nice for many things. Just make sure you're not draining the batteries too much.

And I've not yet seen a 12 volt hair dryer with good reviews.

Hair dryers are a huge draw- think heat=Lots of power use.
That said forget my hair I'm thinking laptop charge, cell pnone, 12 v fan, my Cpap!

Be cautious about 12 volt appliances. I had a 12 volt tire inflator, it ruined the 12 volt receptical in the truck. Lyn
