in the end you need to decide if the risk is worth it... I would suggest doing your homework before making this decision as I am sure there are factors involved here that I have overlooked. To me it`s just not worth the risk, Good Luck, TD
Even if the cooling system is working perfectly, it`s not good on an engine to let it idle for extended periods.

If you want to be truly mobile and not tied to a socket, you probably have to invest in a portable generator and a deep cycle marine battery.
