That's interesting, and reminds me that even when I get around to measuring the power draw with the kill-a-watt device, that even if I measure the
instantaneous current draw (as you have) it likely won't be continuous at that level, coming on and off as needed. So the total power consumption will depend a lot on the interior RV temp conditions. But when it's June here in GA that poor RV parked in the driveway will really be cooking inside...then I'll bet the fridge will draw power continuously...at least until be re-locate to our cooler MI location(!).
