tooldad,
You absolutely must disable the 12V frig operation. The current drain is enough to kill whatever battery you have it connected too --- especially your truck battery. 12v frig operation is a cruel joke that the RV manufacturers pull on the unsuspecting public. Seriously, you have to have a Diesel Pusher with multiple house batteries in order to successfully run a 12V frig.
Would it be helpful if I took photos of my battery install?
I had to rebuild my cooling system on my fridge and as it does not need 12V to run I did not reconnect the 12V lines when I reinstalled it. A little extra security in case I should do something stupid like turn it to that setting.
I also recommend if your fridge does not need 12V to disconnect it.
