I debated if to put this here or in 'I digress' but thought more people would see it here.

I had this sticker made for Lulu, and on advise from GN's, had a male name added to it so that I don't 'advertise' the fact that I'm a female travelling alone. By the way, Mike is the monkey that travels with me. So look out for me now! Woops! sideways Mike!

Hi, i have a 240v/gas fridge. It seems OK on gas but i would like to run it while travelling,using my Anderson plug to supply 12vthrough an Inverter to the 240v system. Will this work? I imagine it will not be very efficient but would it still be better than nothing?, Cheers
