Very interesting. From your above post, I assume you have some type of travel trailer and truck combination. I am surprised that you cannot run all 12 volt devices when plugged into 120 volt 12/20 amp shore power circuit and keep your batteries charged. We have never had a problem with any RV when plugged into 120 volt 15/20 amp shore power. Of course we can't run the AC unless we switch the water heater and refrigerator to gas.
When preparing for a trip and first using the refrigerator, I run it on gas, as it cools much faster than when using electricity.
