    Avoid These Mistakes with 12V RV Refrigerators + Cool Spreadsheet! | e149

    09/04/2023
    2023, Oregon, Season 5 – Go WEST(ish)!, Upgrades!

    If you’re looking to upgrade your RV refrigerator or looking at which fridge you should get for your RV, make sure to watch this video! We learned some surprising information that we wanted to share!

    And if you’re interested in the Battery Amp-Hour Calculator Spreadsheet, head over here!

    Products We Talked About 📸📽️ :

    Refrigerator Bin– This made keeping all of my food organized in this new fridge a breeze! This also allows good airflow between everything I put in there on each shelf. The added bonus is that I can pull out the shelf and – for example, make sandwiches with a bin for lunchmeat and cheeses – and then put it back in there quickly!


    10AWG Wire – We always seem to have some wire around for the next project I get ourselves into! This is great since we can have colored wire for power and ground all in a small spool.


    Inline ATC Fuse Holder – Since we had to run new wire for the refrigerator, we needed to make sure it was properly fused. This one is located close to our power blocks in the basement.


    Wago Connectors – We have found that these little connectors are the BEST for splicing – ESPECIALLY if you’re having to deal with splicing solid wire to stranded wire. We used these specifically to add the power monitor so we can turn it off and on easily at the refrigerator outside door. It’s also a lot easier to get to these instead of the fuse in the basement. I’ve looked everywhere for these locally, and the only place I found that had them was Menards (if you’re up north).


    Power Analyzer – This was the best tool I could find to analyze a specific component. This will capture Amp-Hour ratings over a 24-hour period. You just have to be there to see it, since I couldn’t find anyone with a Bluetooth option. It still worked great to measure the refrigerator load.


    Our Camping Locations⛺🗺️📌

    We’re sharing our camping and other locations on iOverlander (boondocking, etc.) and Campendium (established campsites).

    ✅Penpac RV – not the typical place to stay overnight, but it’s saving us a TON of money. I started looking at long-term hotels and Air BnBs in the area and we’d be paying well into the thousands for the amount of time we’re likely to spend here. Not the prettiest of places, but the price is right! And hopefully we’ll get started on the camper shortly!

    Our Journey Map⛺🥾🗺️📌

    We also have a currently free map on Google with all of the places we’ve stayed along with the related video and links to more detailed reviews on iOverlander , Campendium and Google Maps.
