Resurrecting this thread, let me know if this a breach of etiquette and I should have started a new one. I recently received a refurb big buddy with the fan. I don’t want to deal with the batteries and am a little reluctant to open it it to wire a step down into it. I have a power box a bring with me when I use my pop up to run the lights and charger phones. It has 12v plugs in it. I used a small Coleman power inverter and pluggged the ac adaptor into it. The purpose of this post is two fold. One is to see if anyone has any input about if this is a good idea (I heard the adaptor actually tests higher that the recommended 6v). The other is to offer another alternative to the battery or reword route. If it works good I may integrate the inverter into the power box to make it more streamlined.
