As I posted before, Fridge conked out on gas and did seem to not work on electric (although might be working now).
Question--Anyone use a compact home fridge in rv ?
Saw a Fridgeadaire model LFPH44M4LM at LOWES FOR $199.
4.4cf--separate freezer compartment.
Runs at about 1.5 amps and 140 watts.
I have a 200w inverter that I could hook up to house battery while driving and could plug in to shore power when at a campsite with electricity.
Also have a 90 ah battery separate from everything else.
Does it sound doable and will the fridge withstand the road vibrations OK?
Looking for opinions or answers based on experience.
The only problem I see is the inverter. Although the fridge won't draw much the compressor will take a whack more to start. I would look at a 1000 watt sine wave model. Once the compressor is turning it won't draw much power but you need to have the current capacity for start-up. Other than that I see nothing wrong with your plan considering your particular type of camping plans. The inverter will probably run you a few hundred but you can use it for other things as well. Good luck. Let ub know how it goes.
