Crock pot cooking while traveling?
My wife picks up our new Class A motorhome tomorrow (I'm working for another 10 days out of town). This is our first r/v with an inverter. My question is if we can put a crock pot cooking going down...
Forum Discussion
I've read some conflicting comments about running the inverter for fridge or slow cooker. Although most of the comments say it's okay, I've read also saying not OK.
I've been running my 300W fridge on the run through my 1500W inverter via house battery but not on extending run exceeding more or less two hours... which I usually stop to stretch.
I have two paralleled 12v volts batteries to do this but I'm anxious whether I could keep doing this on say six hours or more of driving without depleting the batteries completely. Although it may not hurt to leave it (I think) fully discharged before reaching my destination.
Some comments say the alternator should be able to makeup for the demand but other say it won't. My alternator came with my Class A rig which I assume it may be generic.
So my question is: does anyone encountered any issue by running the fridge or slow cooker (not both) the whole time regardless the travel time?
Thanks
