Rephrasing, so it makes better sense:
The refer should only be set to run on DC when the truck enginge is running.
or...
You should NOT run the fridge on DC anytime other than when the truck is running.
If the truck is not running, and you aren't plugged in to power, the fridge (if set to run on DC) whill drain the batteries quickly.
good to know, thank you! Assume that is because as you say, my fridge really isn't a "3 way" afterall and just has AC & propane? So, when it is in "DC" mode, it's really consuming AC through the inverter, and the inverter is pulling from DC. Right? But, with the truck engine runing, it will keep up with the 12v charging demand. Right? Also, the owner's manual says NOT to run the fridge on propane while traveling? Is that an abundance of caution that most overlook? Thnaks
You CAN also run the fridge on propane when the truck is running and travelling. THat's what everyone does that only has a 2-way fridge.
Northwood MFG (Arctic Fox) doesn't install a 3 way fridge unless it's a specail order.
