So, Sean O'Neil wrote: "....What are the odds that the shore power is charging the battery during plugin time? If it doesn't work that way is there any way I can get it to?..." Sean, I'd like to do this very same thing, and have been thinking about the best way to accomplish it. I think that David Schwarze's idea of taking the outside case off a battery charger and mounting it permanently inside the camper is good. Ideally, one could plug in and simultaneously get AC to the camper, plus have the current go to the charger to the barttery (or second battery). Or, if you're like me, you'd like to have enough batteries for about 600 amp hours camping fun (not counting your ignition battery ;) /martha
