If living aboard, to what extent do you use the 12v power onboard, versus using 240v plug in appliances, when marina based on a day to day basis??
For example should you use the 12v fan driven diesel powered central heating or should you plug in an electric heater? Should you use the 12v lights on the boat or should you use 240v lights? Should you use the 12v radio onboard or plug in a separate stereo?
Also do most liveaboards have a dehumidifier on board permanaently switched on, and if so, does anybody recommend a particular brand?
My main concern is long term abuse to the batteries, and I'd appreciate anyone's advice!!
