Hi guys
I have a van I am currently building. I've taken on the challenge of installing a mini dorm fridge as I wanted more capacity for a much cheaper price (compared to 12v fridges and 12v chest style fridges/coolers). Yes I know they're not as efficient (although debatable with real world testing from other threads), etc.
I have read many threads about people doing this with relays to turn the inverter on and off to save energy, but one thing I can't seem to get past is inverters that beep each time they are turned on. For those of you that are running a similar system, doesn't it drive you insane?
I will be sleeping in my van and don't want my inverter beeping every time it is turned on. I've tried a couple different pure sinewave models on Amazon and they all seem to beep when switched on.
Any advice from other people who have done it? Just keep looking for other inverters?
