It does this by taking the ac power that s a higher voltage and converts it over to 12 volt dc.
Dc power runs from the batteries on the rv.
The converter charges up the power in the batteries when it gets low.
Electrical power does not work.
A 20 amp 30 amp or 50 amp supply.
Gas is usually the default source of heat for the cooling coils the 120 volts is the alternate source typically used when connected to shore power in a campground.
First check that you are getting the energy to your refrigerator.
Try operating the refrigerator on the 110 volt ac mode and propane gas mode.
The ac power control panel distributes this power to the appliances and outlets that use ac power for example the air conditioner.
Ac power comes into the rv from your generator or from the campground or other outlet you plug it into.
The air conditioner works wonderful when using the extension cord and running off my electrical power but it doesn t work at all when the generator is on.
Propane fuel powers some appliances such as the refrigerator.
If the refrigerator runs on either the gas or the electrical modes it can help you figure out where the problem lies.
