Made up a device (Black box) to run my "old yella" Engel on 240V while the DC outlet was topping up the battery. When the genny ran out of petrol it automatically swapped to running the fridge on 12V. Could stay away from camp all day and not worry about the fridge keeping cold. ****This was before portable solar panels*** Made a mistake at a caravan & camping show telling an Engel engineer about it. You guessed it, the next model of Engel that came out had auto change over built in. If I'd patented that idea would now be a :cool: :money: millionaire. Such is life....... [/QUOTE]
