Hello Codi,

I reached out to our friends at GE about the Amp draw for the GE Profile RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # GE48FR and this was their response: This is a great question we hear often, its not as easy to answer. The refrigerator spec calls for 20AMP circuit however the draw is based on the efficiency of the unit, the ambient temperature, and how much the compressor needs to run. I find from my research that that this unit in normal operating conditions would draw 5-10 amps/hour. This model offers a feature ‘Turbo Cool’ which is great to cool down the refrigerator and contents however it leaves the compressor running for 8 hours, so that would draw more amps for a longer period than in normal operating mode.

It is kind of vague, and for that I am sorry. Is that kind of Amp draw going to work for you?

Hey Codi, did the 5–10 amp draw on the GE Profile RV Refrigerator end up working for your setup? Knowing how it performed could help others figure out if this fridge fits their power needs too.
