There is a 12v socket in the back of a D3 SE (well I seem to remember seeing one). What amperage is this rated for? As a one off I need to throw the camper trailer fridge in the boot for an upcoming trip but don't know if it will just blow the fuse. Thoughts?

15 amp you wont have a problem with the fridge on it. It only operates when you have the key in the ignition so when you lock the car no more power.

Just be aware that as it is a horizontal connection, it is very easy to knock/bump the plug in the socket.

Would it be advisable to piggyback a 2nd fridge plug to this wiring?

Hi Fletch, you can fit as many sockets as you like, but the trick is to use no more than a couple at the same time.
