How many of you do this?
Ok in another forum it was mentioned that your fridge should always be turned off while filling up at a gas stations. Reason being open flame from LP tank. We have been pulling a camper for the best p...

And the reason no one used the 12V is because it is a huge draw, and your alternator probably won't be able to keep your house battery fully charged at all.
I never even thought about the fridge,
Well from now I will use it on the inverter while travelling.
In the end it's gonna save me a bit of propane since the alternator is more then capable of powering it.
I don't get when people say "it's 30 feet away"... What happens when you drive past the pump ??
Anyhow, If your fridge can be powered with electric while travelling, wouldn't it make more sense to use it ? I know will now.
And why would you necessarily drive past the pump? I don't when I fuel up since I have a diesel.
Huh? I’ve never heard of an RV fridge that didn’t have AC or at least it’s rare. Many do not have 12V, however. Propane + AC is a 2-way. Propane + AC + 12V is a 3-way.
Inverter or 12V direct will still require a decent rated charge line from the alternator, Watts are watts when it comes to cooling with electricity and the 120V will also lose some efficiency in the inverter.
