efficiency/effectiveness
I have a Pleasureway Ascent with a 3 way fridge in it. Can some one tell me if it will be "colder" when set on propane or 12v battery? This is while keeping the settings the same. Thanks.

Hi,
My 12 volt fridge works well--if I'm plugged into shore power. Otherwise there is too much voltage drop on the wiring and so the fridge warms up. The "power" changes with the square of the voltage. So 34 amps @ 12 volts (144) is quite a bit lower than 34 @ 13.6 volts (185). That's about 23% more @ 13.6.
There is little difference in cooling on propane or 120 volt.
