Just bought my first thing for my van. I also have a copper pan with lid

@pennic...

I know nothing about Tapatalk, but your screenshot showed up really large...I'm sure a knowledgeable dweller will chime in with the fix.

For your induction stove, what are you using for power?

I don't know that copper pans will work with an induction cook top. They also require a lot of power to run on 12 volts. You would need a large inverter, heavy wires and run your vehicle anytime you wanted to use it. If it uses 10amps at 120 Volts, it will use 100 amps at 12 Volts.  Most people use propane for cooking.

The other thing is the original poster wanted to know about refrigerators so we should be discussing that. The proper thing to do would be to start a new thread to discuss whatever you like. There are different areas in the forum and you should pick one that fits your topic and post there.

I'm sorry it came out large I didn't realize that and I don't know how to go back in and fix it.
But anyways it's adduction copper adduction Burner I think it's called. It runs off electricity how I understand but I'm going to change the plug to a cigarette lighter to go in there or USB cord

Sorry but that is not going to work. Not all electricity is the same. Things that are designed to work off of 120 Volt AC will not work by cutting off the plug and feeding it 12 volts DC. An inverter is a device that changes 12 V DC to 120V AC but the way it does that is to use a LOT of 12v dc to make a little 120 v AC
Electrical power is called Watts. This is the Voltage times the Amps. So if that induction cook top needs 1,200 watts that would be 10 amps at 120 V AC or 100 Amps at 12V DC. When installing large inverters that can handle household appliances very heavy wires need to be used to supply the 12 V DC to the inverter.

That cook top is not going to work for you without some big money being spent on your vehicle or buying a separate generator.

Please don't rewire your cooktop, you cannot change an AC appliance into a DC just by cutting the cord and adding another. The electrical current needed to run it is much greater than batteries can supply. The only thing that will happen is either the fuse will blow or your batteries will be damaged. Nither one is a good option. Cookstoves that use propane are inexpensive and reliable. I have a microwave that I use but I need to be plugged into shore power. I could use my inverter but the draw on the batteries is too great and the amount of time to recharge them is too long. A generator would provide the power but they are a bit loud
And you have to have fuel to run them.
Plus store them for travel, even the smallest one's are over 15 lbs. So as you can see there's many options available to meet your needs it depends on what would be idea for you.
Hope this helps and good luck on the build.
