Default Power for 12V Refrigerator

I am replacing the cooling unit on my 1292 Dometic side by side with a Dutch Aire (Amish) DC cooling unit.

I need 15 Amps of 12 volt power at the back of the refrigerator. I think I have a size 14 wire behind the Fridge that is powering the display panel.


I got some wiring diagrams from Gulf Stream, but not the drawings that show the size and location of 12 volt wires for the water heater or furnace. If these wires are size 10 I could pick up the required power there.


Gulfstream's drawings show an inverter providing 120 VAC from the house batteries.

Where would I find the inverter. My microwave does not work when the 50 Amp service is disconnected, so I don't think I have a DC to AC converter/inverter. The input side to the inverter might be a good place to pick up 15 Amps of 12 VDC for the new cooling unit.


Any help would be appreciated.
