I would tend to believe what Sunchaser says about real power draw. It makes little sense to be drawing 240 watts while running with stabilizers engaged. You would be consuming about half of your alternator output just to power the stabilizers. So, my guess is the 10 amps is way over-rated for the application. But, regardless, you can buy a perfectly good 12V-24V DC converter on Amazon for about $20. We used to run a 5 amp unit continuously to power a laptop (18V) - lasted for ever. Plus, if in doubt about longevity, buy a spare.
