Default 110 volt outlet

I have a 2011, the 110v outlet only stays on for 13min in Aux , can the vehicle be programed to stay on longer

they do this because in AUX moed, you will kill the battery in no time, especially running 100v

The sort answer is no but the relay the runs the inverter can be tapped into with a hot wire from the batt. Just put a switch on it and then you can control when is is off or on. Of corse this would take time and research to find the right places and wires to use. I would start at the inverter. Good luck.

Assume you go ahead and figure it out, just how long do you expect the battery to remain charged and still turn the starter when you turn the key?
Before I went around and started messing with that wiring and the GEM (I assume that is what it is still called), I would pick up a $30 inverter from Walmart with alligator clips and hook it direct to the battery. Either way you will run the battery down if you don't monitor it and keep it charged. Unless it is a deep cycle battery, they don't like to be discharged too far or too often. Best to run the alternator when running and inverter.

Add a second battery and a bigger alternator and be done with it
