Hi all,
Just wondering what the preferred method is to control the fridge when travelling ie when using the 12v system?
Obviously it's ok when driving since the vehicle will be charging all batteries and running the fridge but when you stop, do you manually disconnect the trailer plug; leave the fridge to run anyway and hope not to flatten the battery too much; or use some method of control?
I have a Redarc controller to charge the auxilary battery when driving so could connect the fridge to that but probably not good for the battery to be drained flat so considering installing a Fridge Switch directly behind the fridge that turns the 12v on and off based on movement. Would cost around $70 for the parts and should be easy to fit.
Interested to hear others ideas and experiences.
Cheers,
Paul
