Residential refrigerator question.
I'm looking into the Dynamax DX3 as a home on wheels.
How do household refrigerators work in an RV? I know they run off the inverter, but what about while you're driving? Can you run the fridge? Is the alternator enough to keep up?
Can you dry camp without the generator running the whole time? I know it depends on how many batteries and solar panels you have, but lets say you have 2 180w panels in full sun and 2 group 31 house batteries with no other loads on, so when the sun goes down, the house is fully charged. Can anyone give me a ball park idea of how long the batteries will power the fridge via the inverter before you have to run the generator? Would it run 4 hours, all night? Just looking for a rough idea.
I know you can't run the A/C or Induction Stove without the generator, but could you live off grid with enough solar panels and batteries without running the generator? Obviously the answer is yes but how many batteries is that? 4, 6, 8? Any idea's?
Thanks
