As I was reading up on Xantrex 1000 in my 4200 a notion occurred to me to check. I wanted to see if the refrigerator breaker was wired in before or after the inverter.
For my coach it's before. This means that when I have limited shore amps (20 or 30) and want to avoid the residential fridge startup cycle from overloading the shore power breaker on the post, i can run the fridge with the breaker off. Any surge is absorbed by the batteries and the charger will catch things up more evenly.
Just tested this, and it works great.
