My RV fridge went out and I replaced it with a Haier HCR27W mini-fridge. It runs fine on shore power, but it overwhelms my inverter. What's my solution? A higher wattage inverter or another brand? A new, higher-quality house battery or do I just need to bite the bullet and buy a replacement RV fridge?
Here are the specs of my set-up:
House Battery: Walmart Deep Cycle Marine Battery.
Inverter: Cobra SPI 1000 watts.
Fridge: The manual says 115volts, 60hz, I can't find more specific info on watts.
Wiring: I've got a heavy gauge copper wire running about 20 feet from the battery to the inverter. The run from the inverter to the power supply is less than two feet, standard household three-prong wire.
The inverter runs the TV, Xbox, phone charger and lights just fine.
