Some advise on Residential Fridge

Not sure if you have house batteries and an inverter. But given you have a residential fridge, I'd think that you would. One of the things that the house batteries help with is taking 12 volts from your batteries and provide 110 for a couple of circuits in your motorhome. Generally one of those circuits is the residential fridge. So you ought to be able to turn the inverter on and run the fridge off the house batteries. Need to make sure your house batteries are charged.

Also, as Dave mentioned above, simply get an adapter for your 30 amp power cable to take it down to a 15 amp. Won't have to run anything out a window, just attach it to the power cord. I uploaded a picture of what that looks like.

I tried to understand your equipment from the Thor site but there is a huge variance in on board systems


If you already knew the above, apologies. If you didn't, the PDI should have covered the fridge's operation on 12v.
