RV Fridge / Household Fridge
Can anyone comment on this please. RV unit says 2.7amps... House unit same size says 2.9amps. I have a "feeling", going to bring my meter and check this weekend, that the House unit will burn less ...

Ya Mex I guess the Household unit i am referring to could be a 12VDC. But no. Both amp loads mentioned are 120VAC. That really isn't the issue. Maybe never explained myself clearly. My question is, does a unit that cools via ammonia ( RV unit ) use more kilowatts overall then a Household freon / compressor unit ? Thanks.
Possibly as the RV unit uses an electric heating element to cool. The element alone can be 1000-2000 watts. BUt what you loses with a residential fridge is the propane option. To me the propane option is best while boondocking
