OK, stupid question from someone who does not own a MH yet; How do you power a residential refrig when driving down the road. Large battery bank and inverter?? Surely you don't run the generator all the time.
Mr. Timjet, yes, you are exactly right. The residential fridge runs off of the batteries through the inverter. If a coach has a solar panel on the roof, it will assist in charging the batteries.
Residential fridges use little electricity (if you keep the door closed). :p
We don't have solar but have 3 Lithium Ion house batteries, 4 starting batteries for the engine (24 volt) and one battery for the generator. We have four 3,500 watt inverters, four alternators on the engine that will allow us to use four roof airs without the generator running going down the road.
This set-up is just to show you there is a huge range of configurations depending on how complicated you want to get. LOL!
