I must be missing something here. I thought the PleasureWay used a 3-way fridge, so when you're on the road you either run on LP (not advisable) or 12V, not 110v. My Roadtrek has a 3-way Dometic and an inverter, but when the inverter is on it doesn't power the fridge. It is only wired to supply 110v to a couple of outlets.
The inverter can provide the 110v that is used by the crock pot and the engine alternator should be able to keep up, but it may not really charge the coach batteries.
Thanks Bob, that made me feel foolish, but you got the right answer for me. I really should know my RV better, but I am capable of learning.
Thanks everyone for chipping in your thoughts I learned from each of the answers.
As a refresher, I was looking for a solution to use a crockpot while DRIVING and needed to know how many watts I could use. I have a 450 watt inverter. Knowing that the frid does not use the inveter, (checked documentation and wiring) I can simple unplug the TV or DVR and plug a 350 watt crockpot in.
