When I'm driving do I run my fridge on propane or electric?

We will have 48 hr of boondocking so need the battery to last that long.
  • Even on propane your refrig requires 12v to operate. Factor that in to your usage for 48 hours. While you are driving your 7 pin does not really charge battery enough to make a big difference unless you were driving for a "long" time.
  • Propane. The only way it will run on 110 (electric) is if you have a REALLY long extension cord or a large inverter hooked up to multiple batteries with solar. I would recommend the propane route.
