Really noob electrical question...
I have a plug in coleman cooler (the type with the built in fan/cooling system) that we use for longer trips when the fridge won't hold everything. It will run off 12V DC (cigarette lighter) or with it's converter, 120V AC. I'd like to have a way to power it while driving down the road. There are no power ports in the bed of my truck so that doesn't work. I tried to find an outlet in my trailer that was powered when attached to the TV with the TV running. All the lights seems to work but none of the outlets. Should any of the outlets be powered by the inverter when drawing from the TV or am I going to have to do some wiring?
