RV Necessities | Hand picked by the 'RV Fridge Guy' team!
Keep your RV refrigerator running cold and reliable with our selection of RV Necessities. This category includes essential components like propane regulators to ensure steady gas flow, voltage surge protectors to safeguard control boards, and converters and inverters to deliver consistent power on the road. These items may seem secondary, but they are vital for protecting your RV fridge from damage, extending its lifespan, and keeping food fresh in any conditions. Whether you camp off-grid, plug in at RV parks, or live on the road full-time, investing in the right RV necessities ensures your refrigerator performs at its best on every adventure.
It's essential to maintain proper gas/ LP pressure in your line in order for your Norcold RV refrigerator to run properly on LP mode. The following propane regulators are highly recommended to maintain 11 water column inches of pressure in your gas line. You can check your LP pressure with a device called a "manometer".
Converters and Converter/ Chargers and essential to RV living while unplugged from shore power. RV Refrigerators require really clean DC power to operate well and all too often the culprit of all sorts of refrigerator failures comes right down to the source of power. The 'converter' is designed to convert DC voltage to AC voltage so that you have full power while unplugged from shore power. Converters with the charging function have the ability to transmit AC voltage into DC voltage in order to charge up your battery bank, thus allowing you to run everything in the coach that operates off of DC voltage (lights, water pump, etc.).
Typical issues that arise with converters failing in the RV industry deal mainly with the refrigerator. The reason for this is that refrigerator circuit boards need clean voltage in order to operate properly. When a converter begins to fail, sometimes they will leak AC voltage over to the DC side of things. This is called "AC ripple" or "dirty DC". A converter that shows even 0.5 VAC on the DC lines needs immediate replacing before damaging your RV refrigerator.
