residential fridge

i would like toswapout my norcold fridge for residential. but would like to see how i need toinstall my inverter?
  • I'm more curious how you plan to get a residential fridge into your camper...
  • If you plan on running the fridge for more than a day or two without AC hookups, you're probably going to also need to see about installing a larger RV battery bank.

    Typical power consumption of a residential fridge is around 1.5 KWH per day.

    A typical large deep-cycle RV battery (Group 27 or 31) can supply around 1 KWH.
  • I never had any problem traveling for a day with the fridge off. It will stay cool for a long time.
  • I've found my residential fridge stays cool enough during travel days without the converter on.
