"wouldn't using a shore-to-charger-to-battery-to-inverter system  let you use European shore power without a lot of appliance conversions"


This is a great question that I'd like to know the answer of.  Two or Three years ago we were looking at a Nordhavn 47 and one of the sales guys said that by putting a "X" as the power was coming into the boat it allowed them to take in various forms of power and condition it to whatever the boat was using.  He acted like this was something common that they were doing with the Nordhavn's at that point.  Does anyone know what he was talking about??  We are possibly looking at upgrading to a Krogen 48 that we may use to travel to various ports and it would be nice to not worry about my power source so much if need be.
