My bad... I'm looking at a dim printout and didn't pay attention to the fact that 2 6v AGMs is an option.

In the chassis section it says

Battery 800 amp (I thought it meant the starter battery)

I haven't a clue what that means.

(I got an emailed copy of the brochure)

As to the fridge... that means that it is always 12v and if you plug into 110 then the converter/inverter is merely re-charging the batteries as you draw?

mumkin-several things on that brochure are either missing or incorrect. usually in roadtreks other brochures the line above says 2 agm batterys(standard) then the next line underneath says 2 agm batteries optional.


most roadtreks(at least sprinter models) have used 12 volt compressor refigerators for several years. they only draw 3-4 amps per hour and are very efficient.Novakool,engle,Norcold all make them. you could lok at their sites. they started out being used on boats and have migrated to small rv;s.

since they are 12 volt they run directly off the batteries just like any other 12 volt devices. suburban furnace-water heater etc.

they do not need the inverter.

it does appear that instead of using an inverter/charger on this model they are going the converter that charges and a separate inverter. i have found that sometimes roadtrek mmesses up their info. i would not make any definate conclusions until they actually put it on their site and have additional/corrected info

i think the 800 amps battery in the chassis section is an error also.

they also don't mention the fantastic fan/tv antenna but i saw the fantastic fan on the video
