Doug, Thanks for the reply. I have tried this several times. Used AC or propane for a few days while "camped", then switched to 12V while driving. Did not maintain temp. Even on moderately cool, northeast spring days. 60 deg or so.
From the operators manual. It all depends on how fully charged the RV battery is and the Gauge wiring to the refer. Also the gauge CHARGE line from the chassis system to the Coach battery. MOST OEM's require at least 8 gauge wire from the BATTERY to the refer for 12 volt DC operation. NOT from the Converter/Fuse panel. Doug
DC electric should not be used to initially cool the refrigerator. Only use DC when the other
modes are unavailable (for example; while in transit).
