Plannin to wire an Inverter into my Ram 3500 charging system. I already have the inverter at no cost ,, thought I oughta do somethin with it. Thinkin I can wire this 2400 watt inverter into my truck bed toolbox. then run a #12 cord from inverter back to my trailer breaker panel and feed the refridgerator with 120 volt thru inverter. We got a full size double door residential frig and freezer.
Just thinkin I could run the fridge on 120 V. instead of LP. while driving. Since we do alot of long distant trips to get south or to the rockies.
Has anybody installed an Inverter to there tow vehicle ?? Can yas give your pro and cons. Any advice or instruction greatly appreciated.

I have a 16' TT with a small apartment sized dbl door Frigidaire refer in it. I run a 750/1500 inverter in my toolbox, for work lights, drills, etc, and built a short 1ft adapter with 2 male plugs on it and plug it into my outside receptacle, it has worked fine for about 20 yrs. I run a 25' 10/3 extension cord from the inverter to the trailer plug by way of the hitch stand with a small bungee cord.
NOW, I am installing a converter into the unit and setting up a charge line -8 ga- to keep my battery topped off and run the fridge internally on it's own beaker.
The main consideration for ANY electrical after market hookup is "don't get a case of cheap butt", check with an electrician and explain what you want to do, have the specs from the unit, and ASK how to do it so it is SAFE. Larger stranded wire than needed will carry the amperage better, cooler, and more efficiently than going cheapy and burn your trailer or fridge compressor up.
Just my 2 cents worth.
