Your RV should be equipped with battery disconnect switches to prevent this, so dont forget to engage them when the RV is off or in storage.

Can TV convert to 12v?

Yes, typically a TV will have a power supply with a line voltage input and multiple outputs. If you want to input 12V (without first stepping it up to line voltage) you would need to provide all those voltages. I wouldnt waste time on this, and would only use an inverter.

How long can you run a 12v wire?
