Ideas on 240V fridge in caravan running while travelling

Interested in your comments Doug. I haven't tried this but I would need assurance my tinnies were still icy cold as I like them. I have a 150L Dometic 3 way fridge.

Cheers

Mine are Westinghouse Bar Fridge on one side of the van and a Westinghouse Freezer on the other, both the same size, When I came over to NT from NQ I spent just 5 nights in C/parks out of 12 , when I arrived at Adelaide River I had frozen goods in the freezer from NQ, all I did was run the gennie for an hour at midday and about 3 hours in the evening and probably 1 or 2 hours in the morning.

.

The new standards will cover that AS2000 1997 and AS2001 2008 as all Inverter installations now have to be fitted with and isolating switch and fused so in the event of an accident if a short is created the fuse will blow cutting off the battery power.

If an accident is bad enough to create a short then it may do so with the DC cables also and if they are not fused the resulting fire will burn the lot and shut down the battery power to the inverter anyway.

Not nice.

I wish Id stop dreaming about younger days the Standards should read AS3000/2007 and AS3001/2008.

Thanks for the info, it is a standard house hold fridge freezer combo 240V, 180 Litre.

Im sure as long as the protection systems are in place for the 12V and the 240V supplys then it may be possible to do. I will consult the standards mentioned.

Thanks.
