I want to be able to use LP to run the fridge when were out. We don't go places with hook ups. The compressor fridge needs constant power, that will kill my battery (we also camp year round so I can't be guaranteed that I will have sun).
I also like the idea of getting more space in my fridge. I have 2 growing boys....
I pulled the fridge out this morning and am trying to burp it. I'm going to see if that can buy me some time.
Not correct. A Waeco or Danfoss compressor fridge is a duty cycle fridge, that is, it only draws power when cooling is graduated which is what makes them so efficient. I have one and it might draw 3 amps when cooling down, but once at temp, it draws about as much as your absorbtion fridge does.
You are mixing a conventional compressor fridge with a Danfoss. 2 different things entirely.
