switching between battery power and shore power

[faithie999]

does anyone use shore power when it’s available at your campsite?  if so, how do you switch from battery power to 120volt power?  do you just plug your charger into the campsite power supply, which would keep the battery topped up while it’s being drawn on for lights?

I’ll be using a PowerMax 35 amp, 3-stage charger.  the reviews I’ve seen are mainly favorable.

thanks

I use both concurrently.  12v powers the exhaust fan, interior LED illumination, and a USB port.  

An interior 110v outlet for a fan, TV/DVD, heater, etc.  An exterior outlet was mounted in the galley for convenience.

I have a battery charger, but haven’t needed to re-juice the 12v battery while camping to date.
