the only thing i can tell you is my own experence.,i had it hooked up to 1200watts of solar with 1000amps from 10, 100amp 12volt battery bank.,and it wouldnt start my house refridge..it has 2/3 seconds of surge power.,the house refridge need 10-15 seconds of surge power.,if you dont need surge power,,its ok i guess.,,im not useing it..it doesnt work for me.ill give you a deal if you want to buy mine half price.

Yes this inverter would work for that. It's a good inverter, husband is a truck driver and uses his off the truck battery to run his fridge, microwave, etc.

it would work good for that as long as the RV system was charging the battery

Jay P, I cannot really answer that question as we use it as a spare Fridge in our RV, so it is either plugged in and full or empty and shutdown. It is awesome and I am very glad that we bought it! Sorry, I could not be more helpful. Jeff

You will need a battery installed on front of trailer or some way to power and it would need to be quite heavy wire (cables) it you were to runn any distance to another battery....

It needs to be ventilated. I have used it so far in my tent on propane and on 12 volt in my car while traveling. It does put out some heat as all refrigerators do. If I were to use it in my RV then I would leave some windows open or put it in my tow vehicle with windows open also.

Not likely. The current rating of the 3500 is 3.5 Amps. Your RV refrigerator probably draws more than that. That means the battery will have to make up the difference while the refrigerator is running. The key is how much current the refrigerator draws and how much it runs.

I have a small fridge (4.5CF) and I run it off one of these batteries plus a four 85 AH batteries. The batteries supply more than enough power and I believe one 125 AH battery would run the fridge alone. I run lights, fridge, TV off my system.

That is precisely what I used this switch on so I was not draining the battery when the trailer was not in use. It worked very well. I located mine near the batteries. The device seems to be water tight when the switch arm or cap is in place.

I use a deep cycle marine battery with a 45 watt solar panel charging it. Keeps ice cream hard in the desert camping

Any good 3000w inverter can handle fridge and freezer, this one will do for sure

Can you tell me the model of mini fridge you are using? I was thinking about doing the same but am afraid it won't hold it for the long term.

just make sure you have enough batteries to support the startup draw of the appliances or your inverter will kick out for low voltage, even if your battery is fully charged. I would say at least 3-4 batteries at least for them three items, maybe more, depending on the size of the ac's and fridge

I can run everything in RV at same time. A/C,microwave,coffee pot and TV,no problems.

It has a hook up for 12 volt D/C or 120 volt A/C so it will work off your RV batteries. I am currently using it in my 18 wheeler and it runs off 4 batteries I have in my truck. I can leave it running over the weekend and still crank up the truck Monday morning. So there should be no problem of a solar system keeping a battery charged to run it. One thing I do not like is it has to sit flat like a chest. As you see it pictured that it how it has to stay to run. You cannot turn it up like a regular refrigerator.

Yes, absolutely . I'm a mechanic by trade , this fridge uses very low amps.

Anything is possible with zip ties and duct tape or if you are a redneck lol I use mine as a battery to run my truck radio all night when I go camping it always hooked up just found out my main battery was dead after unhooking it last week to power an inverter lol that little battery is amazing

this will handle both. keep in mind each appliance draws from the generator until they reach the set temperature. the fridge and freezer can be unplugged as they are not using power. if you plug in your fridge and freezer a couple of times a day you should be fine. I run my fridge in the morning for a couple hours or until it reaches set temp. again about 2 hours before bedtime.

It's metal inside and out works great on 12v in car and 110 at campsite or home I use it as fridge on one side and freezer on other when camping It does not switch from 12v to 110. I've never tried to have it hooked to both as you would need for it to plug into a running 12v source.
