Hi MrDonelt65,
6 amps @ 120 volts translates to 60 amps at 12 volts but this start up surge is less than a second.
Real life data shows that a 9 cubic foot residential fridge will use a little less than 80 amp-hours per day, in what I consider to be hot weather.
It is cost effective to do so, and some new RV's now come so equipped. I.E. it is cheaper at the manufacturing level to use a residential fridge. Don't you think their "bean counters" have costs down right to the penny?
