Jnnallard Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Can my fridge run on only propane or does it need some power and propane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Takes 12 volt power for the controls. Assuming it isn't an ancient model. Edited July 8, 2019 by Darryl&Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieView Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Most need 12 volts DC for the control circuitry whether on shore or battery power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right but the refrigerator should do fine with no outside power supply as a reasonably good battery will supply the needed control circuit power for a very long time. You won't need to keep the engine running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al F Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 The fridge control board only takes about 0.1A to 0.2A with an additional 0.1A to energize the solenoid for the propane gas valve. So the power draw of the fridge is very minor compared to everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
