Does the power cord hooked up in the bed of the truck when we are driving provide power to the fridge or are the batteries keeping it on?? Thanks
Your 3811 should have a residential fridge which only runs on 120 volt electricity. When you are not on shore power, your inverter takes 12 volt DC power from your battery bank and coverts it to 120 volt ac to power your fridge. The cable to your truck will keep your battery charged assuming it is working properly.
