Are your batteries all tied together or do you have 1 or 2 dedicated to running the fridge?

The residential frig and electric cooktop I think are the only things hookup to the secondary inverter in our coach, so I turn the primary inverter off before we go to sleep at nite, and when we wake up, the house batts still have more than 85% capacity remaining.
We hope this helps?

I have 4 6 volt batteries tied in series parallel on my coach. so basically two banks of 12 volt batteries in parallel. I have a household 120 volt refrigerator. On a trip to california in august with outside temps at around 100 + my refrigerator ran for 8 hours before my batteries started getting low. I am not sure how old the batteries are I have only had my 2005 coach a few months and I do not know if the batteries are the original ones in the coach. I also have a problem which I did not realize at the time. The batteries should have recharged from the engine alternator. They did not do that and I am guessing I have a bad charging solenoid. For the question you asked basically I recharge my batteries while at the campground then during the day while driving my coach the refrigerator and anything that runs off the coach batteries usually runs the batteries down in about 8 to 10 hours.

Thanks in advance for your response.

My next one will be all electric w/aqua hot. When it's get really cold you can go through a bunch of propane in a hurry.

Another plus for all electric coach. Since you are not carrying any propane you are permitted to go through tunnels that restrict propane MHs

There are no restrictions for propane MH's. The valve is supposed to be off is all.
