AC power and T stats
Has anyone ever switched the power for Thermostats to a power supply rather than the batteries? We have had issues with our converter which caused the batteries to discharge and we lost the AC thermostats as a result. We can live without 12volt lights but those AC units are mission critical.....
Since we can obviously only use the ACs when hooked up to shore power is there any reason we couldn't install thermostat power supplies like you use in a house (granted I'm not sure what the voltage of those are)?
Also is there any reason why you couldn't run the second AC off of an heavy duty extension cord coming off of the 110v plug/breaker on the campground pedestal? Sort of a cheat like the old Y connectors used to be before the Ground Fault plugs stopped us from using them?
