Boondockimg/refrigerator fan-battery use

mandt

When boondockimg and trying to be conservative with power, and with frige using propane does the frige fan need to be on full time? Does the fan use much power? How important is it?

The auxiliary fan for the 3-way is such a miser on power that Inleave it on all the time when temps are over 60*. If you run the fan, the fridge stays cooler.

Put a remote thermometer in the fridge on the bottom left (the coolest point) and you can monitor your temps to see how quickly the fan will take the temp down 5*.

I knew someone would spot that.

@verna, I spotted the same thing & was SERIOUSLY hoping the fridge wasn't "on"!
