Subject:Elec.Gurus! DC ground question (fridge fans off shore power)
From:neil N

Hi all.

I've tapped into the positive connector (on block on top of fridge) to
use vans' DC supply for fans.

I'm also adding a 12V power adaptor for shore power to fans. (I have
the appropriate switch in place)

Since vehicles' ground is being used for "house" supply to fans etc.,
can I also use the vehicles' ground for the 12V wall wart?

I think it's ok (and would work) but could use the advice of any
electrical gurus.

Can't think....... need lunch.

Many thanks!
