Replacing Refrigerator, vents and wiring questions
Yes, I'm replacing my original (non functioning) camper fridge with a residential unit. I know they are not meant for camping, etc, but its going to happen.
I can figure out how to remove the fridge from the unit just fine, I know I'll be cutting off power and disconnecting the propane, now worries. Propane tanks have been disconnected since I parked it 3 months ago.
My questions are regarding the vents, what to do with them? And the wiring for the fridge.
Right now, the TT only has 1 battery. I would like to upgrade the battery bank a bit. I plan on eventually running solar panels on the roof to help with the power situation when dry camping. As it stands, the first several trips out will likely be at a resort with hook ups, so not too worried about those at this time.
I would like the fridge to be one while travelling. This would likely require the fridge be on its own inverter hooked up to the battery (battery bank) that would also be receiving charge from the tow vehicle? Can I accomplish the needed juice to keep the battery charging while towing from the 7 pin trailer plug? Should I look into running thicker gauge power lead from the batter of the tow vehicle into an anderson style plug that would then run to the battery on the trailer?
Who hear has done this already and can you provide some details/specs and pictures if possible?
Thank you.
