110 volt refrigeator

[Julia Bonser]

We replaced our refrigerator with small Heier 110 volt refrigerator
with the Dometic gave out after only 3 1/2 years. We had the wiring
changed to be able to run the refrigerator off the inverter. The
refrigerator did not like the modified sine wave of our Heart 2000.
So if your Xantrex inverter has a true sine wave it might work. We
don't dry camp that much but we did dry camp for almost a month last
year while waiting for the campgrounds to open in Wisconsin. We ran
the generator a couple of hours in the morning and at night to
recharge the batteries. The refrigerator was only running when the
generator was on and the food stayed cold enough. Most of the time we
are plugged into shore power.
