I bought one of these dashboard charging kits ( all sorts of connections and 240v and 12 v and all the connectors ) recently and I have dialed in the correct voltage stuck on the correct nozzle and my laptop charged from my VW touran.... all very good .
But the touran for some reason allows the "cigarette lighter" connector to work with the ignition turned off.I dont think my motorhome does.
A couple of questions.....is it safe to charge my laptop while we are driving using the charger........ and what can I do when Im stationary with no mains hookup...as I am told that turning the ignition to on without starting the engine........is not a good thing to do...and wouldnt want to sit there with the engine running stationary anyway.
thoughts please
