JC refrigeration AC or DC upgrade?
Just wondering if any of you could tell me whether I should buy the AC or DC conversion for my dometic rm2652. We are on shore power almost always except for traveling. Would the truck charge batt...

Thanks Drew. It sounds like there’s going to be some conversion losses in there regardless of whether you go with AC or DC.
I did just find this in the Q and A section of the JC Refrigeration website.
“ Q. which is most the power efficient 120V or 12V
A. on paper the 12V is the most efficient @ 7.5A 90W, but it runs some slower than the 120V, so in the end they are practically the same. But if no inverter is on board then the 12V is still much faster than your gas/elect.”
I’m going to keep this in mind for the day if and when my cooling unit goes casters up. Mine works great now, but that could change tomorrow.
Considering where my inverter is mounted, out in the open where it can be seen and heard easily, I’d probably go with the DC conversion kit for mine.
