Hi Dan.

The model year, type, of Vanagon may be a factor. If connected the cig
socket to an aux battery isn't an option.....

Connect it to the X circuit controlled by the load reduction relay?
That said, a few thoughts:

- will potential added Amps via load(s) on cig lighter socket be too
much for the X circuit ?
- will added current through the ignition switch cause it to wear out sooner ?
- when key is turned to operate the starter motor, the X circuit is disabled.

Neil.
