turn the Inverter ON
it provides 120v power from the batteries to your Fridge's outlet, anytime, including while you are driving, and anytime you want it to when you don't have shore power or are running the generator.
It's your 'third' power source - making great use of your House batteries, and may also power some other 120v outlets in your coach... turn it on and plug in a fan or small device to each outlet and see which ones work from the Inverter.
Once you know a little about the power of the Inverter, while camping and traveling, you'll wonder how you did without it!
When you're on shore power, or running the generator, the Inverter simply goes silent, until you are off shore power or the generator is shut off, when it comes back 'on' to continue providing power to the fridge and other outlets.
Some will say they turn off the inverter when it's not needed, such as when on shore or generator, but I always leave our on, 24/7, because if the outside breaker trips, or the whole campground loses power, your inverter still powers the fridge and other things, even maybe TVs and satellite receivers, and floor fans, so that you don't lose everything and can continue, until shore power is restored, etc.
