I used my truck camper almost every weekend of the year (3 out of 4)and wondered if I should leave the refrigerator going while plugged in at home or start it up on propane before heading out?
Thank you very much
ANSWER: Hi Andre since your Truck Camper is going to be plugged into electricity you should have no problem running the refrigerator on electric 24/7. You could also run the refrigerator on propane, but you would have to keep an eye on the propane level.
Unlike the refrigerator in your house the refrigerator in your camper is an absorption refrigerator and has no moving parts like a compressor so it uses a lot less electricity than the fridge in your house. That's the good news the bad news is that absorption fridges take a lot longer to cool down when first turned on than a home refrigerator. Take a look at the video below so you can get an idea of how absorption fridges actually work.
