Outdoor kitchen Rockwood

I was wondering if the outdoor refrig would operate without being connected to shorepower? Our first trip in this camper is coming up in a few weeks. Anyone know?

What model Rockwood? The outdoor fridge in our 2902WS operates on 110v only,; no propane or 12v. If the on/off control says 'gas' then you can run it without shore power.

Ours is a Sandpiper, but it's 110 v only. It will stay cold for several hours without shore power, but it's only for 6-8 hours, depending on the outdoor temps.

It's 110v AC ONLY.
So shore power, generator or an inverter connected to the batteries.

Thanks all, I guess I will need to install the solar panel and get an inverter.

How do you like your 8288ws, we just picked ours up in November
Ours didn't have the outdoor kitchen, it has the outdoor TV and some storage shelves . I guess probably for DVD, s and such

We have a place for a TV. No plans however to install one on the outside. Just picked ours up two weeks ago and are still packing up for our first trip. It has been raining so much we are behind in prep. So far we like the 5w very much, the wifi Ranger is a great add from our old unit.

We just took our 2507S out the weekend before Christmas to give it a first shakedown. The outdoor kitchen refrigerator did require shore power to operate.


The gas hose on the swing-out stove won't reach to the underside propane hookup though. Looks to be couple inches too short. I could use the extension hose that works for the propane gas grill but then I could only use one or the other at a time. Any ideas?

There is a hose already attached to the stove from Forest River. The issue is that it is too short.

My tv is inside the cubby like your outside kitchen. I need to open the lift up compartment door to see the tv . It stays there all the time . Not one that hangs on the side of 5er

Yes , they sell other hoses, but where is your stove? The hose that came with it should be enough
Picture would help
