The Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer Drawer # WAY44FR runs of 12v DC power and can pull up to 14.5 amps. It can be ran directly to the battery or to your trailer's DC distribution panel for power. You'll want to measure the distance you'll have the wire run between the fridge to the power source to determine the correct wire gauge needed. Voltage can drop over long distances so you could end up needing to use a bit thicker gauge than just 14AWG. Once you have the length we can see what gauge wire will carry the voltage that length without dropping below 12v.
