Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I've read both threads regarding towing with the fridge on.

•Input voltage range: 10V DC - 22V DC
•Output ratings:◦Maximum voltage: 14.4V DC, temperature compensated
◦Maximum amperage: 20A http://www.etrailer.com/p-CTEKD250S.html

After reading and researching this DC/DC charger, I think the way to go is to run a wire from the alternator independent of the bargman. For a 10 meter run (30 ft) they recommend 10mm2 (not sure what AWG that is). http://www.caranda.ro/Manual%20D250S_DUAL.pdf

The other nice thing about it, is that it has 2 DC inputs (TV alternator or battery and solar panel). I'm not suggesting to use it as a solar controller, but if you go this way it will work. So I could hook the solar to it in the campground.

I'm really hoping others that may own one chime in.
