Greetings,
Planning to change out our current AC fridge due to need of raising the cabin floor by an 1 1/2 inch. The current fridge is within a 1/2 of the current floor.
In looking for a replacement in a AC/DC and around 20-24 inches in height the cost seem quite high in terms of a straight DC house hold fridge (Haier 2.7 cu feet) As the Haier is a DC unit the question is how large a inverter would the forum members suggest? The indication from a RV review refers to a 60 Watt light bulb demand.
The thinking from here is the price of a bit ove $115.00 vs 600.00 allows for consideration in using an for the lack of a better description, "Inline" inverter of
(Blank wattage). I would set system up to run on DC at the dock or on the Gen set and switch to the inverter at sea.
Suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks,
Al
