Hi,
I think your duty cycle on the fridge is too high. But it is better to err at too high than too low.
You may find yourself running the generator a lot more than expected in Mexico because the power grid is unreliable.
Why would you not run the roof air while traveling? Does the dash air "cover" the rest of the RV?
I am guessing at the duty cycle based on what I have read. No solid info on this particular model.
Assuming a known daily average consumption of apx 1 kWh daily we will pull the same A/H total daily from our batteries regardless of duty cycle.
Lower duty cycle will mean a higher current draw for a shorter period of time. This will dictate a larger inverter to support the higher start/run current.
As to the roof air: I try not to run it when we are not in the trailer for extended periods. This would include times that we are underway.
