Hi, everyone! I'm new to the community and a proud new owner of a 1999 Eagle model.
I use the camper as a second home when I'm working as an outdoor guide/instructor in Utah. I'm able to hook the camper up to shore power, but I've noticed that the fan still runs off the battery and tends to sap out a good chunk of the energy. Being in the southwest of Utah, I'm going to need the fan running as much as possible to cool my dog and I, sometimes through the night.
Is there a way to make sure the fans and lights are running off of shore power alone?
Quick notes:

Quick notes:
- I'm a total noob
- I have a solar panel and a SunSaver 6 controller; the previous owner said the panel keeps the battery topped off pretty well
- The battery is an Optima Yellowtop Deep Cycle & Starting
- I've got a Dometic 3-Way Fridge that I run off of 120 when connected
- I don't have the camper battery connected to my truck battery
