You know that a regular RV fridge doesn't have a compressor. If there is a heavy starting load you must be talking about a home style fridge.
Yup. It's a 4.2cube dorm style fridge, compressor driven. Darn cheaper than a proper RV fridge, and works just as well. We're on the second fridge in the trailer now, the first having lost its coolant due to a pinhole in the tubing. Power draw is fairly low, probably 8-10Amps starting (I think!) and purrs along at around 1.1Amps. Inverter shows about 12Amp pull when the fridge alone is on it. Paid about $200Cdn for this fridge.
I figure this way was cheaper, that for the price of a single RV fridge I could afford 8 - 10 dorm fridges AND not have to worry about propane. Just keep a decently charged battery bank for those off-grid trips.
Cheers!
