Does the outside refrigerator run off 110 only or does it also run off the battery while traveling. Can’t find anyone who knows. It’s the one in outside kitchen.

A residential runs mostly on 120v and some have a setup with it's own batteries and inverter to run up to 8 hours on batteries. Smaller refrigerator are 2/way with 120v and propane. Very small refrigerators can be a 3/way 120v, 12v and propane. You should be able to look at the back of the fridge to see if it has a propane gas line or just a 120v plug. If there is no propane gas line it's possible that 120v out is also supported by batteries. You could unplug the power cord, turn off the shore power to your RV and plug a night light into the outlet and see if there is power there assuming you have your batteries turn on and your overhead lights work in the trailer. Another tip; update your personal info that will include your trailer model, tow vehicle etc. That way you don't have to add the info in all your future question that require knowing your model.

You do realize that we have no idea what make/model of RV/trailer you have, nor which make/model of refrigerator is installed. Therefore, how could you possibly expect that we could give you any type of accurate answer?

I have a sport trek touring edition 333 VFK with outside kitchen. The refrigerator is mounted and won’t come out for me to look at the back. I don’t think it would be a propane one because it would have gas light / switch on front. Just curious I will figure out.

I'm nearly certain it's a 110v only. It's just a dorm-sized residential unit.

Unplugged your outside fridge and plug a light into the 110v outlet, go turn off shore power where you are only on batteries. If the light is still on then you know you have 12v power from your batteries. I'm guessing not. If your outside dorm fridge is kept cold over night before your trip and you put already cold food in it right before you depart the fridge will keep everything cold until you get to your campground and plug into shore power. Hopefully you are not driving 16 hours none stop. My fridge only lost about 8 degrees on a 6 hour drive. Of course that all various if you are driving in the southwest when it's a 110 degrees out.

I'm confused. Is it a 120vac receptacle or is it a 12vdc receptacle? Are you saying that when unplugged, the 120vac outlet is supplied by an inverter from the 12v battery?

Your small fridge only works when plugged into shore power. Most folks just connect their RV up to shore power t home and get their fridges cold. Right before you depart for a campground you load all the cold food in both fridges and when you unplug or disconnect power your fridges should t=stay cold enough until you get to your RV park camping spot and then plug back into shore power. Fridges should stay cold for 6-8 hours depending on how hot it is outside.
