Hey,
Just got myself a new 60L Engel for the camper trailer. As it only just fits into the fridge slide - the plugs on the side are not able to fit. My plan is to open it up this weekend and solder in a new cord that will run out of the rear vent instead - Straight from the wires on the inside. Both 12V and 240V.
Problem is that i see the 12V plug has 3 pins? Just wondering if anybody knows what the 3rd one is for? Or is it just there and unused?
The 12V plug - i'll be cutting off the fridge end and will use a anderson plug instead, and will also put a anderson plug on the end that i cut off so i have the option of using the original side plug if i want.
240V plug - will cut off the fridge end and use original lead to hard wire directly to inside of fridge. This means i wont be able to remove the 240V lead but as this fridge is going to live in the camper 24/7 i'll just coil it up behind the fridge and get it out when i need it. Down the track i'm going to wire camper up for 240V anyway.
Anybody see any issues with my plan? I'm confident with my soldering so i can't see that being an issue as long as theres somewhere i can get to the wires i need.
