Default 12 Volt power choice

When wife suggested that I get back into the hobby (we're fulltimers), I bought a IC7000 and never even considered a heavy 110ac/12vdc power supply. I wired directly to the motor homes twin 31 series house batteries and it has worked FB. Never hear any trash on the 12 volt line. If you've got good 12vdc power available, why not use it? I split-mounted the IC7000 chassis near the Batteries and the control head next to my F A chair/computer. Very Comfy.
