When I was still in RV sales it amazed me how during the demo how many perp techs didn't properly show how to use the fridge and other major items. Thanks for sharing!
Great tips on operating your Dometic RV refrigerator, Lori. Good reminder to take off the access panel and clean out any debris that may be in there. Thanks for sharing, Cory & Lori.
Great information on this; we definitely know that it wont work if its not level, and we try to ensure things are cold before going in the fridge. ~ Brad and Diana
Lorihackett Thank you so much for breaking this down. Its AMAZING how many things there are to remember about operating these things. SPECIFICALLY, LOVE the flexibility of being able to switch between shore power/propane. Blessed and safe travels! LUCRETIA
In recent years with the introduction of residential refrigerators and 12 volt compressor refrigerators it is much easier to run the fridge on battery power or inverter. But, basic 2 way RV refrigerators are only either 120 shore power or propane (12 volt is only used for the controls). Because of this there are many people that choose to run the fridge on propane while driving. We personally do not recommend this, but there are many that claim it is perfectly safe. Thanks for watching, hope to see you around more.
Your truck should have the 7-way pin wired to charge the battery in the RV (not all do but should) the 12v does run the controls on the RV fridge. some newer models are 3-way fridges that can also run on just 12v with no propane. But to answer your question yes the tow vehicle can charge the RV batteries while running the fridge while driving.
RV fridges just aren't as simple as they should be. lol. I've learned that mine is better to clip the thermister with an office clip.

Curious as to why anyone would tow using GAS when most fridges are 12 volt??
In recent years with the introduction of residential refrigerators and 12 volt compressor refrigerators it is much easier to run the fridge on battery power or inverter. But, basic 2 way RV refrigerators are only either 120 shore power or propane (12 volt is only used for the controls).

Thanks a ton!
How do you adjust freezer temperature
Does the fridge run off battery being charged by truck while traveling?
Your truck should have the 7-way pin wired to charge the battery in the RV (not all do but should) the 12v does run the controls on the RV fridge. some newer models are 3-way fridges that can also run on just 12v with no propane. But to answer your question yes the tow vehicle can charge the RV batteries while running the fridge while driving.
Thanks
What do I do when I turn it unto auto... then my on and gas check is blanking what do I do?
So when switching to propane does it require any electric?
Yes the controls for the fridge will still use 12v power from your battery. But the power draw is minimal.

Ok what do i do if i want it to run off of electric instead of propane the refrigerator
Leave the fridge on auto . When connected to shore power it will default to electric. Thanks for watching.
My condenser never stops running
Do you ever drive your RV with the refrigerator running on propane?
All of our issues with our RV had the word Dometic.
😬😬😬
The best tip is to remove it and replace it with a residential or 12 volt unit because these absorption refrigerators suck 😒
