Would 12 Volt Fridge Draw Power From Tow Vehicle Battery or Trailer Battery
Updated 08/15/2022 | Published 08/12/2022
Question:
Question about RV fridge. I have a 2016 Rockwood Mini-lite 2504S. The fridge is 2-way but I have been told I can run the fridge off the TV while driving. The fridge just needs to be turned On again whenever the truck is turned off. It doesnt run off the battery but the TVs alternator operates the fridge while towing. Is this correct. Thanks-

Expert Reply:
If you had your RV refrigerator like the # 324-000119 on when towing it would be drawing power to operate it from the trailer's battery as well as the charge circuit of the tow vehicle. Since the charge circuit is connected to the battery to put a charge on it when towing and that's same circuit the fridge draws power from that's why it's technically both.
