110v Residential fridge install
Hey Everyone, I finally made up my mind regarding the replacement of my failed 6cu. ft. RV fridge in my little 5er. I decided to go with the Whirlpool model #WRT111SFAW 10.7 cu. ft. "apartment" ...

I think offsetting with 45° elbows would be better than with 90° elbows. That would prevent any possibility of the vent becoming blocked due to water collecting in it and the RV being unlevel; though it would have to be pretty far out of kilter for that to actually happen, I reckon.
(For what it's worth, Amp-hours are not, strictly speaking, a measure of energy but merely battery capacity. Amp-hours at some given or assumed voltage do measure of energy, and are in fact trivially convertible into Watt-hours by multiplying by the voltage; but without the voltage, you can't say anything. Of course, for RV DC electrical systems, it's a safe bet that the voltage is nominally 12V and actually a skosh higher.)
That makes perfect sense.
The 45s would eliminate the chance of a "water lock" in the vent. However, given the particulars of this install it would be VERY difficult to induce this problem. Also, the location of the vent pipe and the adjacent bulkhead make installing 90s much simpler.
As to the electrical units of measure: This is soooo widely misunderstood that I want to bury my head in the sand every time it comes up....
