The problem then is that the only power supply is two single cigarette lighter adaptors that provide a bit of amperage at 12v.

So presuming that the cig adaptors are tied up with the CBs and couldn't provide any more power without blowing a fuse, can we then just take semi-arbitrary amounts of power direct from the battery?

What I am thinking is one set of wires coming off the battery, running back to the cabin, providing twelve volt power to, say, the 12v refrigerator. And then a second set of wires (on the other vehicle I guess) powering the inverter which we use to power the laptop or other electric equipment.

I sort of only paid semi-attention to the earlier thread on this matter (which incidentally I don't think was ever resolved), but is this basically what you had come up with?

If this is the plan, I wonder if there are some clever things you can buy to achieve the same thing but more elegantly or safely? If not, we need to get all these cables and adapters, etc. made.
