Yes. You must be able to reach the lower rear portion of the refrigerator from the back ( outside ) for the final electrical and lp gas hook ups. Also the lower rear panel must have a screen or other perforation for ventilation/combustion air.

Check propane levels, keep purging line of air, several attempts may be needed. Check exhaust for debris (mud dauber nest clogging). The quick connect will not help you. My refrigerator works fine on propane but not on electric! (new camper!)

You do not need a 110 outlet on the roof. You do need one inside the RV where the satellite receiver is located.

I have one connected to the battery on a camp trailer the has a propane refrige/freezer. It keeps the battery charged when we are not using the trailer and also is charging while we are using the trailer. This has really helped to keep the fridge from faulting if the battery voltage dropped to much and the electronic ignitor wouldn't work properlly.

I relocated the battery box, and the gas valving. Then made a flue for the exhaust to go out above the access door. You will need a 22" tall by 14" wide access door and a metal enclosure to mount it in. Mines under the kitchen sink, in that cabinet. I unscrewed the counter top, and inserted a sheet metal box and covered the surfaces with sheet metal after putting in the door to the outside in the spot the old heater was in. Your design may vary, but its really easy to fit in a trailer. Be sure to get high temp exhaust pipe and termination to the outside, and a intake air vent put into the door.

Not likely. The current rating of the 3500 is 3.5 Amps. Your RV refrigerator probably draws more than that. That means the battery will have to make up the difference while the refrigerator is running. The key is how much current the refrigerator draws and how much it runs.

15 amps. NO! My 27 cubic ft home refrigerator doesn't use 15 amps. Double check your numbers. Also, you can't run any 115 volt device off a solar panel. The panel charges a battery. The battery runs into an inventor. The fridge runs off the invertor.

It must be connected to a natural gas line (pipe). If you don't have natural gas where you live, this unit is not for you. If you do have natural gas, it does operate without electricity so is good if you lose electricity.

This is an outdoor rating refrigerator and I have it in a cover though, so prevents from rain and water. Got some open parts at back, don't advice without cover

this will handle both. keep in mind each appliance draws from the generator until they reach the set temperature. the fridge and freezer can be unplugged as they are not using power. if you plug in your fridge and freezer a couple of times a day you should be fine. I run my fridge in the morning for a couple hours or until it reaches set temp. again about 2 hours before bedtime.

no it just switches the trailor from ac to dc. when you lose power and the fridge will keep working with propane

It shouldn't make any difference whether a home or RV. If you have a patch panel with access to 240v you can protect the entire RV or a single 120v circuit. If you're not sure what you're doing it's best to get an electrician to wire it for you.

Incoming power comes from knockouts on the bottom, or a removable plate on top. There is no breaker included. I hooked mine up to a 30 amp breaker in the panel in my house, and there is also a 30 amp breaker in my RV.

You might want to put this on a separate 15a or other circuit not used but any other heavy load item like a refrigerator or heater.

I have ours in a fenced in enclosure immediately behind our attached garage where the central AC unit is located. When the windows on the back of the house are closed, it is barely discernable, even operating at full draw on the system (genny engine RPM up high.) Given that it is a back up generator and it is expected to be heard as part of the fact that there is a need for it to begin with, it's not at all bothersome.

it does not need electricity, it is gas. if it has an optional fan it will need 110v. fan is not necessary for normal operation.
