Fridge on the Road

[montanaman]

Does anyone run their fridge when traveling on the road? Do you run off of the battery and not off the propane? We have a neighbor that tells me I should run off the propane. Your thoughts. Thanks

Yes, we run it when travelling...that's the way it is intended to work. The manual says to turn it off when refueling.

Your refrig will not run off 12v alone (some do, but not ours). You do need 12v power for the electronic control to work while running off propane.

We run ours pretty much all the time, even when we are not traveling at at home station. We turn it off once every 6 to 8 weeks to clean and defrost, but this depends upon frost build up in the freezer. You know every time you open the door it adds moister to the inside and thus more frost. It is just a natural event.

I run my fridge on propane while on the road. Have not had any problems yet.

We just leave ours om auto and when we are plugged in it uses electricity. When we unplug, it switches to propane. Not a problem.
