BC Cu ft black “EVERCHILL” refrigerator.

We’re tempted to try installing an inverter to run the Norcold refrigerator on DC while driving in our Winnebago Adventurer. We have a couple of questions:. I don’t know the actual power consumption of the refrigerator on AC, but the Norcold schematic appears to show a 5 amp fuse in the AC heater circuit, so it can’t be over watts, and there are inverters available in this range. The same Norcold schematics show a 20 amp fused, separate heater for units with the 12 volt DC option which we wish we had , obviously less effective than either AC or propane operation. Obviously I need to get a clamp-on ammeter and actually measure the AC current demand, but a meter costs more than an inverter would, and this is just in the thinking stage. Right now it’s easier to see if the kid in the next seat knows the answer! On paper, this would seem more efficient than just running the generator for the sake of the refrigerator. What am I missing, that the motorhome manufacturers know and I don’t? I assume you meant to say you wanted to run the refrigerator on AC, not DC while driving. You did mention later that you wish you had the DC option so I understand that. You don’t need an inverter to run the refrigerator on DC. We ran ours on DC all the time while driving. Having that option allowed us to shut off our propane when traveling. Now our refrigerator has only AC and propane choices. On AC it uses too much electric from the inverter so we either use the propane option or run the generator. Every motor home mfg. Without having the manual for your rig, I couldn’t guess if it does or doesn’t provide enough charge to the house batteries to keep them charged. Our ’94 Dynasty did charge the house batteries. Our is rigged to charge the house batteries if the chassis demands aren’t too large. As a matter of experience, it doesn’t really keep up with demand in our circumstances. At the end of a long day of driving, the inverter will spend several hours recharging the house batteries after we hook up to shore power. It does keep the house batteries in the working range so that is all that is really needed. You might try calling Winnebago technical services to see if they can answer this one for you if you don’t have the manual. Personally we find an inverter to be indispensable and I’d recommend you get one anyway. Everyone has their own preferences. I’ve talked to people who have inverters and never have used them. Our fridge runs well enough on propane, but all received wisdom dictates against traveling with the propane turned on, since it could be a pretty catastrophic fire hazard in any driving mishap. Tom, since this fridge has no DC option as installed, my scheme would be to use a watt continuous-rated inverter to provide AC from the DC house batteries. This seemed substantial but not too outrageous, and I was curious whether others had tried it. I guess the worst that could happen would be that the batteries would run at a deficit whenever the alternator couldn’t keep up, then hopefully catch up when the fridge thermostat was satisfied. The coach does have a watt inverter intended for TV when dry camping, but we’ve never used it and it’s way too small for this. My premise in all this is that the Chevy V8 is running anyway, and ought to use a lot less fuel incrementally than running the watt generator. Just have to remind myself to smile while fueling the coach! Your refrigerator and RV were designed to safely run your refrigerator on propane while on the road. You WILL put additional strain on the alternator. Were this a DP with a amp or larger alternator it would make a little more sense, but only a little. In addition to what Brett mentioned, consider seeking another recognized professional view of the safety features in your coach and the real risk of traveling with the fridge running on propane. The additional information may provide you the comfort needed to use the feature and sleep at night. We do in fact, perhaps superstitiously, drive with the propane turned off at the tank. I guess I’m more worried about a propane line getting ruptured in a collision than I would be about the small flame in the fridge. Looks like I can buy a lot of fuel for the effort and cost of a suitable inverter plus possible shortened alternator life. It’s still tempting, though, and I’ll post any outcome if I give in to temptation! With the inverter, I could at least use my electric drill while dry camping – -! I would think the risk of the propane woould not just be the small flame. If you had an accident and ruptured a line, would that not represent a BIG hazard? Regarding the use of solar panels to charge the batteries and run the refrigerator, this would be a really expensive alternative. Solar panels simply won’t put out enough current to run the refrigerator unless you had several of them. Solar panels would provide a charge for the batteries which would slow the discharge rate but they couldn’t keep up with the refrigerator. It would take eight panels to provide all the power for the refrigerator. Even if I had enough roof space for all those panels, I wouldn’t spend the money to purchase seven more! My take on running the frig on the road. If the frig is cold when you leave you home or campsite, it will stay cold for a long time before needing to run again, unless you open and close if frequently. We used to run the genset for an hour and then an hour off, that seemed to keep the frig cold enouigh for frig. Lately howver, we have been leaving the gas on or using our build in inverter. Weighing the risk of danger from traveling with propane on with appliances designed to be used on the road like you have VS the risk of food poisoning if you turn of the refrigerator when traveling, hands down, you are more at risk from food poisoning. Run them on propane, or if that bothers you, on an inverter assuming you will not over-tax the alternator. OK, Folks, here’s my latest. This really does work! This particular inverter a “Westward” from Grainger shuts itself off if the input voltage falls below We’re just back from our second one-week outings and are happy with it so far. I did forget to switch to propane one time and the inverter shut down some time during a 4-hour absence, but nothing warmed up much because we weren’t there! No doubt a bigger, domestic-type frig would require more watts, but the principles apply. As to driving with propane turned on, I guess we’re responsible for our own phobias! Our first encounter with motorhomes was back in when we rented a 34′ Southwind for a 5-week cross-country trip. The rental agent was adamant that we must never, never have that valve open when on the road, and we took that as received truth. And really, I wouldn’t want to get broadsided and have that regulator get snapped off with the valve open – -. Leaving your propane tank turned on is the norm for motorhomes. A motorhome tank, like a home tank, has a built in ‘excess flow valve’ which shuts the flow of gas if a line becomes ruptured. The danger if you are in a wreck or blow a tire is minimal as a ruptured line will shut down almost immediately. The amount of gas size of flame on a MH fridge is so small that the flame from a wood kitchen match is greater. I have run a fridge on an inverter, and believe me, if you forget to change over when you stop you will run your batteries down in short order. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.
