I have a light in the motorhome garage, do you think this could be changed to power cigarette socket to power 60w fridge box ?

Maybe hoping it gives 10amp .. Is there a way to test available amps.?

The light is not permanent on, it needs the light circuit turned on .. but on this motorhome I can keep the electrics on while travelling. (previous mh shut off all electrics on the move)

I am not motorhome electrickery savvy so can anyone advise .
 
I doubt the wiring will be capable of the load needed to power your fridge box ... Lenny HB will know for sure.

I generally havent got a clue about these things but even I managed to add 2x12 volt cigarette lighter thingies by using a spade from the light feed in the garage

Easily runs the tyre inflater which would (I would think) taken more power over a shorter time than the fridge

Take a look at the fuse related to the light if over 5amp which it almost certainly will be then try your cool box assuming it is compressor not thermo electric it will draw circa 4amp when running.
