residential refrigerator

I have the Amana res. fridge in my Daydreamer, the batteries supply power to it automatically while in transit and when plugged in the shore power takes over. I have a 4 12v bank of deep cycle batteries and that fridge will use up the power quickly so while I'm on the road fer a few days I run my genny during the evening to ramp up the batteries, I wouldn't own a fiver without a residential frige ever again,we love it!

I leave my inverter set on AUTO and it switches to the battery as soon as it is unplugged.

If the refer came from the factory then you do have an inverter. You need to check things out whether you have a switch ( doubtful) dead batteries (possible) or something else going on. Get out your volt meter and start checking or hire someone to show you the proper operation.

Know the difference between an inverter & a converter. They are far from being the same thing.

A residential fridge, using only 120VAC needs an inverter to operate when not on shore power. Depending on the power needs of the fridge you may need a generous 12V battery bank to power the inverter.

Do you have an inverter that needs to be turned on when off electricity? I have to run mine with an inverter if not hooked up to 120.

do u have a onboard inverter
