I did not screw into the side of the fridge because that is not a very sturdy place to anchor. I packed high density foam between the side of the fridge and the sides of the cabinet. I secured the fridge on both sides from the cabinet to the edge of the fridge using 1/8" thick aluminum flat stock as well as footers under the adjustable legs and steel stock in front of the rollers in the front of the fridge.
Appreciate the video. Im researching doing a similar install. Quick question, how did things go with just the 400w of solar with the residential fridge initially before you added more? I currently have 400 solar and 200 amps of lithium, 1000 inverter, hoping I can get by on that. Thoughts?
Out of the 400 watts; the most I've ever produced at my peak output is much less than my peak demand. I have a bay fridge for drinks as well and even with the 800 watts it barely keeps up even at peak sun times. I'm going to add more solar in the future.
It always looks easy when you're watching it. The video only shows the successful part; it doesn't show the hours spent figuring it out or the unsuccessful portions.
I've been told numerous times an RV can't hold the weight of the large Samsung french door fridge. Does it seem too heavy? I mean obviously not but does it contribute to much weight?
