Refrigerator draw on LP mode
I'm evaluating my total amp draw in order to properly size a new solar system with lifepo4 batteries and all that entails. My Fridge is a Norcold N821 2-way. The decal inside says it draws .8 amp...

Good luck with your fridge,
My 1997 Xplorer 230XL has a Dometic RM2310 fridge which draws no 12v power when on propane making it perfect for boondocking which is most of what I do. When I had a rust breakage problem with the flue and piezo lighter lining up, I checked into a new replacement, but with their electronic controls running on propane would draw 1.5 - 2.5 amps, way too much for my boondocking.
I took it to an RV repair shop & they refused to touch it. I was able to fix it myself and I am back in business. I wish Dometic still made a model without all the electronic stuff just for boondocking. I hope I can keep it going.
