hi all, recently bought a VW T5 German conversion, re-registered in France where we live – my electrical vocabulary isn’t great so hoping someone can help: all electrics are fine on 12v or 220v including charging leisure batt from solar panel, water pump, lights, … with exception of fridge which we only expect to run intermitently off the 12V inverter (being the biggest load). It is fine on mains but can’t hear the condensor kick in when switching to 12v.
(I’ve checked that it’s not that the fridge is already cold so turned off by the thermostat).
How do I know the inverter is actually doing its job?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks.hi again, I might have found the answer myself but would welcome thoughts or confirmation; this fridge is not going to function from the inverter supply off the leisure battery. If not on mains elec, it will work only while the engine is running and generating enough power. In other words, when stopped/camping unhooked, treat it as a passive cold box (no elec supply – using cold packs).
