110v inverter, huh, what is it good for?

I've got one of these fitted. It has a flap that covers a two pin 110v socket and a regular 12v cigar socket.

When I fitted my leisure battery I just pulled back the trim where the seatbelt comes out and unplugged the wiring plug from the bottom of the inverter. Watch out for the trim clips scratching your arm, they make a good deep scratch!

The 12v socket still works fine like this and I run my waeco CDF25 off it no problem

Sounds like someone got a bit confused between caps & flaps - could end up in all sorts of trouble with that

It sounds like your getting quite a bit of voltage drop due to the weedy cable used for the 12v socket and the long distance from the battery - my 12v compressor doesnt work well unless the engine is running, so with a reading of 12.4 volts I would expect it to run a bit slow.
The inverter wont do anything unless you have something 100v to plug in, and have the correct plug - however I think thye have a fan built in, so this could be an issue if you have a leisure battery fitted, and put the 12v sockets over to a permanent leisure battery supply. For this reason we normally take them out when we do conversions and just put the connections for the 12v part back to normal.

Caps flaps, cats in hats
Those weird slats in the backs of the the Bongo panels
that serve no purpose but trap the dust
& that music by Goldfrapp just to let you know where i'm @..!

I'm intrigued by this I wonder if it would be possible to convert the inverter to 240V, have you got any of these left?
