Running fridge Norcold N611 off inverter?
My Norcold N611 runs normally off either propane and the house batteries for the circuit board with minimum amp draw, or off 120v. I have 2 group 24 batteries and was wondering in the event I run out ...

I guess I can do a test myself and run an extension cord from the fridge to the inverter and check my battery monitor to see the actual draw. I know using propane mode my total 12v amp draw is .6amps on the battery monitor, that's the fridge, thermostat CO2 monitor and other hidden parasitic drains.
There have been 2 times while camping for days in the winter where my high propane consumption almost drained the tank. I was concerned that we might run out before breaking camp. I was wondering if powering the fridge thru the inverter would work.
But my house batteries would have to be charged also..
Connect the refer to a Kill A Watt for several typical days then do the math to determine the average daily battery draw.
In the end you'll decide to not run out of propane. :B But perhaps a backup plan for a limited amount of time. :@
