Sounds like the OE fan circuit could easily drive a "sugar cube" relay, which in turn is normally rated for 30A. Put both fans on the relay.
My refrigerator is on a dedicated circuit and the exhaust fan is on a circuit with my USB and ciggy plugs. Fan is controlled by a thermal switch (80° on) and if it runs continuously will draw 1/2 amp hours/day. So small I don't worry about it.Kodachrome said:Yes, but if using a modern compressor fridge like a Dometic or Isotherm that uses either a BD35F or BD50F Danfoss compressor *and* tapping off the fridge's wiring, make sure to not exceed the fan output's rating of .5A sustained or 1A burst for 2 seconds or the compressor will turn off as per the the attached document in this link.
Thinking the same...Stalking Light said:I think I'll go the relay route and trigger it off the compressor fan circuit that way no worries about additional fan draw.
Clint's the man all right. Tell him I said hi.hoyden said:Thanks for all the info and ideas!
I can do a lot of mechanical things, but electricity makes me nervous.
I sent Clint at AT (Adventure Trailers) an email, and he's going to help me out.
Yay campering people
Makes you nervous? Why do you think Electrical Engineers are so weird?hoyden said:Thanks for all the info and ideas!
