Does fridge run on propane when connected to shore power?
Duh :)...
Converter doesn't have to charge the battery when on shore power (in order to run the fridge in LP mode). It makes 12V out of 110V shore AC, and this is all that fridge controller cares about. If fridge doesn't run on LP while connected to 110V - then it won't run with a new battery either.
35 AH per 24 hours posted by Fred is on the higher side - about twice higher than what I see in my rig and many other. Fridge controller draws 10-15 AH a day. Other parasitic loads like CO and LP sensors draw under 5 AH a day. A pair of AA batteries in my CO sensor lasts for YEARS, if you re-calculate this into AH for a sensor hard-wired in trailer 12V, it would still be nothing.
