Hey guys,
I'm extremely new to this. I was just curious if anyone has installed a 12v rechargable battery system into the existing 110v line?
My idea is that I would like to use the existing 110v line to recharge the batteries as well as run the lights etc.
Thanks!

Hi Bryan,
If you install a converter, it will do just as you suggest. It converts 110 into 12 volts and charges the batteries; also runs your 12 volt system.
An inverter, on the other hand, takes power from the batteries and runs the 110 system. That takes a lot more battery bank power than the converter system.
I would do some searches on RV converters and inverter systems before making any decisions.
