Inverter Question

Now, when i disconnect from Shore pwr and drive off the RV camp. I switch over to the Inverter to keep my refrigerator cool. This isnt a difficult hookup, but takes many hrs to run a line to the pwr center in the RV (THOR could have put a conduit in). Hook up a switch that either takes Shore pwr from the CB panel or the 110V Inverter to the refrigerator.

I have included a picutre.

Not sure what Thor model you have…
But several of us Vegas/Axis owners who have added an integrated inverter to the “outlet” line (non-GFI line), have that option.
That is, the outlet line includes the absorption fridge.
So when I’m driving I have my AIMs inverter running which auto-switches the fridge from Propane to 110 volt.
However, once I stop for a period of time I need to either turn off inverter or switch back to dedicated propane or the house battery bank will eventually deplete.

Excellent. I wired my fridge to the inverter first thing and now only use propane when boondocking (rarely!) or when precooling the fridge before a trip while it’s still at the storage place. But I use an ATS ($50ish) so that it automatically switches to the inverter when we unplug from shore power. No need to remember to switch it.
