I would bet there are alot more people being "power negative" at the TM battery while towing with the fridge on DC than perhaps is represented here because many folks don't realize it due to the fact they rely on the battery status LEDs to determine battery charge. If they checked with an ammeter, I would not be surprised if many, if not most setups, are power negative.

Of course, if you are driving on trips that are only a few hours long and you hook up to shore power upon reaching your destination, then being power negative isn't a big deal. Generally, it's only relevant when you are dry camping.
