Ok, so it has been fitted to my trailer for about a month or two.

Used it on two trips now, and I must say that I have never had a more convenient and reliable way of managing power. You either just need to be plugged into the vehicle or a 220V power point. It is fitted with an AC/DC charger and DC/DC charger. No need to change plugs for your fridge, or to connect it separately; since it has a transformer it will still run your fridge on 12V even when you are connected to 220V.

When you get home you just flip one switch and nothing will drain the battery, you can even leave it on the charge function.

Probably the single best addition to my trailer.
