Has anybody had experience with 12v power station (as opposed to battery boxes) shutting down when a 12v fridge stops due to being cold enough and then filling to restart. If so how did you overcome the problem?

What did folks use for watching Tv in a van? In the old days, probably before about 2003 or so. I can't remember before my caravan days. I couldn't imagine having the old type big box in a van. Were modern style antennas available back then.
