I know a lot of people install inverters for household 110v into their builds and my van came with a large inverter already installed, but as time has worn on, I have rarely used the inverter. Frankly, it has caused more problems than anything. Most mobile electronics can charge in the vehicle via a 12v USB adapter. If I got the appropriate adapter, I could charge my laptops via 12v. If I ever mounted a TV in the van, they have 12v versions of those. All of the lights in my coach area are 12v LED. So I'm mostly set up to run 12v and could be exclusively 12v if I made a couple changes to my gear.
I'm going to begin making some alterations to my setup and removing the inverter is a consideration, possibly in exchange for a converter charger. If we were are a modern campsite with electric hookup, I would be far more interested in being able to charge the house battery. This being said, I just picked up a CTEK 12v battery charger and read somewhere (maybe in the Amazon reviews) that someone was using that to charge the house battery in their campervan when they could plug in.
So I'm just wondering if anyone is exclusively running 12v and skipped the inverter in their rig?
Thanks
