12v coleman cooler

Its a cooler.. it doesnt have to run constantly

 

The food will warm up when the truck catches fire due to the plug overheating.

 

There should be another 12V scocket at the foot of the bed or in onr of the closets.

 

no, it won't drain the batteries overnight, best to cut off the plug and hardwire it in with a fuse and switch

 

Hey AW hope you are doing well out on the road!!!!!!!

 

There is always a possibility if you have several things pulling off the batteries, you could run them down if stopped overnight. We had sometimes two heated blankets going when husbands volvo would sound the alarm. Don't forget trucks have so many electronics on them that run in the background. If you are at home on a reset it is better to empty it out and turn it off or hook it up to an extension cord to the house/garage. Check and see if you have a dedicated cig lighter in the back of the sleeper area that stays hot all the time vs going off when the key is off, you don't want your refrig to be off for long periods of time letting your food get hot.

 

Oh and we used the inverter for things like the microwave, coffee pot. The coleman was on the 12volt and the igloo he has now is also on the 12v

 

I was just at home for 2.5 days and left my Coleman plugged into an always-on power socket. Only when I climbed in this morning and turned the key on did the low battery (aka 'load shedding') warning go off. But the truck started right up. Granted, my ProStar+ has 8 batteries... YMMV

And yes, if it gets real cold inside the sleeper, the cooler WILL freeze solid whatever is in it. Like a coke. What a mess.
