Has anyone investigated or alternatively converted the power source of the inverter at the back of the Prado? Having that plug is excellent but only while the car is running. Ideally it’s power source is connected to my Auxillary battery. That way I can charge laptops when the car is off. Thanks guys

Charging a laptop using a 12v to AC inverter is pretty innefficient. I bought a car charger for Laptops like this one: M8627B 90W Car Laptop Power Supply - Altronics My 12v Laptop charger is an older one, now superceded by this one. Twice as fast as the standard AC chargers supplied with both my Toshiba and ASUS laptops.
Everything we use when we go bush in our camper trailer operates from 12v DC - even 12v electric blankets (we're getting a bit soft)!! However, we do have a 240V battery charger for the camper batteries when we stop in a caravan park.
