You should have no issues in transit. Camping off-grid is when it gets interesting.
We are not big off grid campers but I have friends with residential units that claim it's not very interesting at all. Curious what your take would be.
Depends on how the RV is set up.
Certainly a residential fridge will draw more from the battery than a propane/absorption fridge.
We have a inverter and the refrig is not wired to run off the inverter Check with the dealer to see if yours is so wired and the inverter is sized accordingly. Assume nothing verify everything.
George, Unless I'm reading wrong, I don't see where a 2014 Sunova ever was offered with a residential refrigerator. I see an 8 cf absorbtion standard, 10 cf and 12 cf as options, but all absorbtion type. There would be no reason for those to run off the inverter, because they already have the capability to operate on 12v/gas.
Really, I haven't seen a modern RV fridge that would run on 12vdc. Used to see them in the old TT's, years ago and trying to run on a single 12v car battery, mounted on the hitch, but not nowadays.
Could be wrong though and just saying that I haven't seen one, for a very long time.
Giving this further thought, you could be saying that the fridge requires 12vdc control power for the propane mode, as all RV fridges do.
I reviewed the specs. as well and as you say, it only has a power converter, no inverter and a 120vac/gas combo, RV fridge.
