Old Croc The fridge on 12v will be set 1 place higher than on 240V .
I Iike my beer cold so I run on 12v at 2.5 or 3 setting , as I said on 240V on the gen set its almost too cold but good

Thanks for that Speewa
i will be running it off the dual battery in the 4b how long do you get if you run it that way without starting  the 4b say on a AGM 80 amp hr Battery

OC We must be careful we are delving into a strange place here  To discuss Batt life  on the Non electrical thread . The use & operation of fridges & the brands of same . This could start a real " Hit the Fan " type of thread in the wrong place
BUGGER EM !
My Engels will run on my 120 deepe 1 on chill & 1 as freezer for 2 days in summer . After that it gets very sad . Then it needs a good drive around to charge the system or dare I say it Solar . Yes I said it  & in the wrong polace to . This will drive them nutts

Thanks again Speewa for your knowledge that's given me a base line to work with and know what to expect I've never had a fridge before in the 4b just a esky has done the job camping in the past so I've joined the 21 century and got one before heading up to the Kimbleys in 3 weeks might need it up there, will be right now I'll figure the rest out on the road.
Cheers Old Croc

Bugger there on to me  
OC try to make the fridge work at its best during the day , to prolong you bpowre in the batt turn it off at night .   Be very careful not to flatten the crank batt as if you have a rig computer your really stuffed then . The rig could go into limp mode ,,,, you really dont want to know about that
