Default Re: TrailManor refrigerator concern

Any way you cut it, refrigeration is a power hog. The refrig in the TM draws about 10 amps at 12 volts DC. The TE refrig, being about the same size, draws about the same. Either one would suck your battery flat in less than a day if you let it ...

The thermo-electric (TE) refrigerator actually draws 5 amps, only half of my earlier estimate. The TM refrig, unfortunately, still draws 10 amps.
