Adding Batteries / Refer Support
I’ve got a 2011 Phoenix Cruiser 2551 and am having to replace the refrigerator. The dead one is a Vitrifrigo AC/DC compressor unit that pulls 65w. Two batteries just aren’t enough to support this rig with that type refrigerator. But I really am not interested in moving to AC/LPG.
So I’m considering adding two batteries and using part of the small storage compartment next to the battery compartment. I know the existing fiberglass compartment bottom isn’t strong enough but I can weld/fabricate a rack that would be.
So I’m curious if there are other AC/DC refrigerator owners who have experience in this context.
Any of you run AC/DC refrigerators? How many batteries does your rig have? What are your general thoughts and experience with this?
TIA
