Swap 12v for 120v Fridge Element? UPDATE 2
EDIT--it turned out you can't swap them--they are not the same and it would fry things if you applied 120v to the 12v element ---------------------- UPDATE 25 Jan--12v is cooling down the freezer....

you can try that
the 12v does not produce enough heat to keep the fridge cold over a 24hr period
it has never been more than a 'keep the food from spoiling mode' intended only for use when driving between campsites
130watts is not enough, the fridge needs that 350watts to operate correctly
this is my 4th RV with an LP fridge,
i had one, my very first class A, that had the 12v option, did not use it
I never use 120v electric on an LP fridge, unless i run out of propane
then i will run the genny or the inverter, and make a trip to fill the propane tank
