Trek Safari fridge ?
Im looking at a Trek Safari,,,the dude says that when going down the road, the fridge runs off the inverter...I thought it ran on the propane ???....Also is the water heater gas/electric???
Forum Discussion
- What type of fridge is it? If residential it makes sense.
- On some Treks there are two outlets behind the refrigerator. One is for 120 volt shore power and the other is for 120 volts inverter power. The inverter power outlet is for the ice maker. Some people that do not use their ice maker will switch the outlet so that the refrigerator will run off of the inverter while driving.
This saves a very small amount of propane but some people do not like the fact that propane is in use when they drive. If you want the unit to run on propane, I think all you would have to do is move the 120 volt plug to the other outlet and push the front controls on the refrigerator for automatic operation. - the WH is most likely LP only unless it has been replaced
- What year????
1991 thru 2008 or the 2016 model - its supposed to be on propane ?
if they wired the fridge outlet to the inverter or put a whole house inverter
and have the fridge on 'automatic' it will switch to 120v mode
not a good idea, as that means it will switch to 120v everytime the inverter is on
but could be, he is mistaken , get him too show you how this works
see what really happens
