I never even thought about the fridge,
Well from now I will use it on the inverter while travelling.
In the end it's gonna save me a bit of propane since the alternator is more then capable of powering it.
I don't get when people say "it's 30 feet away"... What happens when you drive past the pump ??
Anyhow, If your fridge can be powered with electric while travelling, wouldn't it make more sense to use it ? I know will now.
And why would you necessarily drive past the pump? I don't when I fuel up since I have a diesel.
Hum... I would dare to say the exact opposite, but I'm no expert in RV fridge, but I'm pretty sure that most are 12v/propane and 120vac, well all the Travel Trailer I visited...
I believe it's 20 amps draw on the 12v when on inverter powered ac.
And for your second question, I'm just saying. I guess if you only fuel at Service Station that has Diesel only island separate from the gaz pump it would not apply.
