Campervan Fridges
Fridges are the most power hungry of all appliances and tend to run off several different power supplies. The most practical ones are the 'three-way' fridges, running off 12V, 240V and gas. When hooked up to a suitable mains supply the fridge runs on 240V. The 12V power is only utilised whilst driving, running off the engine electrics. As running a fridge off a 12V leasure battery is no good and will drain it in just a few hours. Finally a gas supply, usually the same one that powers the cooker can be used when parked but not hooked up. Running a fridge off gas does require a flue to be run to the outside.
Most campervan fridges are the same as small domestic fridges, complete with small freezer compartments.
