Re: fridge question
Happy to respond to your question. I remember years ago when we had a travel trailer (in the early 1970s) we used to drive during the day with the refrigerator on propane, not realizing how dangerous that is. Fortunately, we don’t do that anymore. When we stop for an hour or so, and I feel it’s going to be a problem with the battery or with the car, I simply disconnect the plug from the car. I don’t think an hour or so is really going to hurt the battery of the trailer too much, plus, when its hooked up to the car again, you have support from the tow vehicle to maintain the RV battery charge (or at least that’s what everybody tells me!)
Therefore, I have never tried to change the fridge over from 12v to propane while traveling. If you wanted to, however, you would have to at least open the front half of the unit and crawl in. The switch that changes the fridge from propane to 12v to AC is right on the front of the fridge and it’s really easy to change it over.
Just my two cents!
