I have a master switch that disengages all loads from the house battery,
including the cigarette outlets. But the charger speaker connector
thingies (hidden in the picture) remain connected. When the van is being
charged, the master switch is in the "off" position. That's why I don't
use the outlets as inlets while charging. Besides, I have a thing about
avoiding output connectors as inputs when connectors are sexed.
