Whenever you are not connected to shore power, the INVERTER is using your TT battery to power the fridge. If you are travelling a couple hours from home to a campground, its keeping your reefer cold while you travel, and when you plug in, the CONVERTER recharges the battery.
Doing this is cheaper for the manufacturer, gives you a bigger fridge interior in the same space. but limitsyou on how long you can go without an outside source for recharging your batteries.
You can add solar panels to recharge the batteries and evenyually make the rig self sufficient.
