How to Use an AC Powered Mini Fridge in a DC Powered RV
Question:
Hi Conner, Thanks for the quick response! I’m just not sure what to hookup the inverter to, the refrigerator is in a slide out compartment all the way at the back of the trailer as far away from the battery as possible. The trailer only came with a group 24 automotive battery.

In order to convert the AC power your mini fridge uses to the DC power your RV runs on, I recommend the Three AC Receptacle Power Inverter part # WC3720. The power inverter is capable of handling up to 1000 watts of continuous power which should be more than enough for your mini fridge. It comes with 2 3 foot long DC cables with ring terminals already attached. The inverter has an auto reset feature built into the device in addition to cooling fans, and a low battery alarm.
I have attached a review video of the inverter for you as well.
