Would a regular fridge work in a camper if it was plugged in prior to the road trip and then once at the camp site it was plugged in or would the movement with the freon cause damage to the fridge? Replies appreciated!
Good question...I'd like to know this answer too. Considering a purchase of TT that's had it's RV fridge replaced with a "new-just put it in!" small dorm type fridge.
I had a 34' RV and had to replace the fridge. I went from 3 way to straight electric. I had it for over a year and never had a problem. In fact I told my wife when we get another trailer I don't care what condition the fridge is in, if its not straight electric im replacing it.
I don't want to deal with the problems of the older 2 & 3 ways. And when something goes wrong, its expensive. We never had a problem with food spoiling because when we were at home it is plugged in, when we are driving/traveling its running off the inverter. When we camp primitive, run the generator. When we are at site, we plug in. we bought an extra deep cell- for fridge only- in case of emergency. We never used the battery. If you turn the fridge on in normal room temp. 65-75 degrees, you can transfer items straight from home fridge. With the 2 & 3 way, you have to turn them on 12-24 hrs. prior to loading. So-basically-YES, use that home fridge with confidence.
Hey Guys
With regards to what Eric was saying; when you were driving/traviling the refrigerator was running off the inverter....Are you saying that you bought an iverter to covert the DC power from your car battery before going into the refrig?
Thanks
