I'm exploring the idea of putting a 12v socket in the boot for running a camping fridge thingy without needing to trail the cable through the car.
It's early days and I don't want to do anything too complicated, but my current thinking is get a 12v socket from Aliexpress/ebay etc (maybe something like this) and run a cable to the nearest fuse box, using a spare slot/piggy backing a fuse that turns off when the car turns off. Or is there another option(s)? Any ideas/suggestions? What's the best/easiest way to do this? Anything to be aware of? Anyone with experience of doing something like this? Bad idea altogether? I've installed the hard wiring for a dashcam before, but nothing else - so I need to know what I would be getting myself in to.
Many thanks clever people!
