reefer problems ??

We just returned from our first boondocking trip and had a great time except for one issue. Our reefer didn't work! SO we cut our trip short one day so food wouldn't spoil. We have a Danby DCR412BLLH model. When we got home and plugged in the 110 it started humming away like it should. I thought these things worked on propane and ammonia when boondocking, or am I mistaken?? What did I do wrong?

    Thanks to all for your responses to my reefer situation. No, I did not have it connected to propane! Where do I find a same size fridge made for an RV that will work not hooked to 110 or is that non-existant?

    YEP......strictly an AC fridge

    Sorta a small residential fridge.

    In order to boondock you will need to supply your own AC power source.
    A Generator
    OR
    AN Inverter with more batteries
    Solar to maintain charge on batteries

    That is a 110 volt AC only refrigerator. It has no gas burner.

    Here is a link to the owner's manual.
