Ok
Here is my question. My 2005 Nomad has a recall refer. The heating element fits the specks of the newer 325 watt units. so far so good. But if a guy wanted to be conservative and put in a transformer to drop the volts from 120 to 112 or so,,, How many watts of heat does it take to make the refer work. I do not care if it takes longer to get cold, I can plan for that, but will say 300 watts do the job? 280? 260? What is the lowest limit. I find plug ins in some places like my house at 124 volt but you may find a park a 115 volts. Any body Know???
