Correction of my error...the N841 is not particularly fancier, just bigger and a little taller. Both N641 and N841 are available in 3 way and ice maker. I did look at my N841 and the 12 volt connection is only two small spade connectors on the solid state board for small wiring of about 18 to 22 guage. The 12 volt amper draw is maximum 1.2 which is 14 watts. There is no connection for any heavier wire. The 120 volt ac power maximum is 2.5 amps which is 300 watts. These power specs are printed on the label of the N841 inside the cabinet. These specs are both slightly less than the Dometic on their site. I power mine with a very small 12 volt Gel Cell battery placed in the compartment behind the fridge and accessable thru the outside locking vent. I keep it charged with a 400 milliamp little black plastic charger like used on a kids game or similar device to avoid over voltage risk to the voltage sensitive electronic controller. The charger is plugged in to the outlet that is already there for the fridge. I did not run an extra 12 volt power wire from the coach, and even though it is already there, I do not use that 12 volt power for the fridge. The house power sometimes exceeds the maximum voltage of 15 VDC on my digital meter, varying with how charged the battery becomes with what is turned on or off in the coach. I don't have a new fancy house converter and don't know if the new converters really do keep the voltage under 15 vdc as they claim when the batteries get fully charged. -Eddie-
