The fifth wheel we like comes with a residential refrigerator that uses electricity only. We dry camp and would need to have it switched to a 2 way one. Has anyone had this done?
Residential Fridges draw 100-200 watts now days if you turn off the enviormental switch (heater) and ice maker. The Defrost cycle (A heater) may draw more (do not know you'd have to ask)
10 hours that's 200 amp hours so 2 pair of GC-2 is minimum needed along with a generator running the other 14 hours a day. 3 or 4 pair might be better
NOTE this is if you plan to use the Residential unit
Me.. I burn propane.
