110 volt refrigeator

[trekkersmith1]

Dale,
That apartment sized refrigerator likely will draw about 30 amps per
hour out of your house batteries. If you are always either connected
to shore power or running down the highway, it wouldn't be much of a
problem keeping the batteries with a good charge, but if you do any
boondocking, you will end up running your genset a lot to keep the
batteries up, and they will only support the refrigerator for about 6-8
hours before they are at the point of needing a deep charge. I would
recommend against that cost savings measure.
