Your year model and refer model. Last sentence. Doug
On units provided with interior light or automatic reigniter or both
there is one additional terminal block marked “12 V”. On “Three
Power” units with interior light or automatic reigniter or both there
are two additional blocks.
The refrigerator must be connected to the battery circuit
with two wires of adequate capacity to avoid voltage
drop. The wire gage should be chosen with consideration
to the wire length in accordance with table
below. The 12 V circuit must be fused. Maximum cir.-
cuit fuse size: 15 Amps. for the models RM2301 and
RM2401, 20 Amps. for RM2501, 25 Amps. for RM2601
and RM2801.
Do not use the body or chassis of the vehicle as a
substitute for either of the two conductors. No other
electrical eqiupment or lighting should be connected
to the refrigerator circuit. The refrigerator will draw
from 10 to 18 Amps at 12 Volt depending on model.
The interior light and the reigniter must be connected
to a separate battery circuit and will draw about 1
Amp.
