V230 socket operation

[Paulinchen]

Hi all!

Been trawling the instruction manual to get my laptop running from the v230 (3-pin) socket behind passenger seat. No luck. Does the Cali really have to be mains connected to make this work?
The manual says so. I checked the fuse, that's ok.

Yes, the three pin socket is only live when you have mains hookup.

Really? Ok thank you. I was rather hoping I got that wrong. Thank you! P

I use a 12v adapter for my Macbook in the beach, works well and more efficient than an inverter would be anyway.

I got this one. Currently unavailable on Amazon but in any case may not be the right one for your Mac but a starter for ten.

Do a search for Lavolta on Amazon and there are a few options.
