Swap 12v for 120v Fridge Element? UPDATE 2
EDIT--it turned out you can't swap them--they are not the same and it would fry things if you applied 120v to the 12v element ---------------------- UPDATE 25 Jan--12v is cooling down the freezer....

The control board seems to work properly on gas. I did have to replace the DC fuse on it when I fumbled something the other day.
If I get the converter to supply the board, I will have to parallel it with the regular connections from that 12v connections thing where there is some voltage drop. That way I can still run the fridge on gas when not doing any converter 12v mode. Voltage drop is not a problem in gas mode.
If I ever get this 12v mode working right, I may never use it, but at least I will have the option.
Ha--the secret is to have vital work to do in the RV so you can't get to the honey-do work just at the moment :)
EDIT-- no 120v mode means you can't run the fridge off inverter and make it up with solar to save propane. If I get this 12v mode working via second converter, I could run that converter (since not connected to house batts) on inverter and make up with solar as an option in some scenarios.
