ROCKWOOD HW277 refrigerator.

When traveling down the road what power source do you use to keep the refrigerator cold? (DC or gas)

gas. when i had my HW277, any long trips would run the camper battery down as the tow vehicle was not able to keep it charged w/ the fridge.

Thank you. That confirms what we thought would happen. Did you use the gas to power it while you were driving?

I'm too much of a nervous nelly to drive with the propane tank open & lit. I just pre-cool it a few days before, fill it with food the day of, turn it off, throw some ice packs in and it stays cool for a least a 3 hour drive.

Used gas with mine for 18 months before I sold the unit.
