The Norcold is junk so I'm going to buy a domestic style refrigerator. I plan on plugging it onto the outlet where the Norcold was plugged in at. The concern I have is my RV is 30 amps. I'm worried that when the A/C is on and the refrigerator kicks on, that it might kick the main. Should I just get a inverter to run the new refrigerator on? I really don't want to because I have a generator and could always just start it every few hours to run the frige. Ideas? Advice?
I.m thinking this one: http://www.pcrichard.com/catalog/catalog-product.jsp?prodId=RA7316PST&cm_mmc=pla-_-Refrigerators-_-Avanti-_-RA7316PST&utm_medium=cse&utm_source=GoogleBase&KPID=RA7316PST&kpid=RA7316PST&gclid=Cj0KEQjwz6KtBRDwgq-LsKjMk9kBEiQAuaxWUqOT3adTCn2VlLndoCg3JIForAUi4Y6GLrEhMx672N4aAphj8P8HAQ
I ran an inverter (mod sine wave) outlet up behind our OEM RV fridge. Also made a plug and play relay box that switches to shore power when available. Never use gas anymore when going down the road or for short periods anymore. It's a 1000w model from autozone for $100 and run it on two 6v golf cart batteries.
We'll switch to a residential, if and when this one goes out, but a small model and nothing fancy. Also, a bag of ice in the freezer, lasts us forever and the ice maker we have now, is a waste, actually.
