Eddie, OK here we go again with the spec talk. I get it, I have an expensive 
fridge and I sure do not want to burn it up after all the work winching it out 
of the camper. Are you saying it is a 3 way? three way meaning it also works 
off of 12VDC on its own? whatever it is I assume I should continue to run the 
10G wire but to where? the instructions say go straight to the batt with 10 
gauge wire.
