Hi all,
While I await the arrival of the new converter for my 1997 DS DP, I need to take an overnight trip. Though not mandatory, I'd like to use the fridge. But it won't operate without the battery disconnect switch on (in the "use" position). I always assumed the fridge used battery power to kick on and off when it ran off of propane, like the furnace does, but I did not know the fridge used battery power when running off AC power. Am I missing something?
What kind of load am I putting on my house batts when I run the generator, and run the fridge on AC? How does this load compare to the propane-powered method? I'd need to run my fridge maybe 6-8 hours minimum before arriving at my destination.
I can recharge the house batts when I get where I'm going, though for this trip it won't kill me to use a cooler, either. So I thought I'd seek opinions.
Thanks! Sharon
