How many amps

Yes we spent dollars on solar and batteries and generator fuel
And we have a fridge that gets cold fast, food doesn't spoil, and it doesn't have to be level, and it works just as well at 110* as it does at 50*

After our repaired l.p. Fridge blew up 6 years ago, we went residential, it's been great

As some users on here like to say, you get what you pay for,
That's a phrase I don't like to use, and I think gets over used
But yes we have paid to have a residential fridge

Yes we have 2 generators that can be hooked together for 30 amps or just run one. We also have two folding 150 solar panels. We are drug store cowboy and girl when it comes to rving. Our DRV has two 6 volt batteries on it and I carry a spare marine grade 122 amps. Have not tried the solar system as of yet. We are full-time now. Have not done any dry camping as of yet.
Thanks again for your input

When at the balloon fest
Deploy your solar use it to augment aka add to what the converter is doing with the generator running, you want to try and be at full charge every night, when quiet hours start, even if that means running the generator all day

Your 12v add on batteries , all connect parallel, aka plus to plus, neg to neg with the end of your 6v/12 system
The sixes are really one 12v that is in two pieces/boxes, remember it's just one big 12v , power leads are the two end points

Well, this is a worthless post. It is obvious that you have no idea about the requirements needed of a residential refer. We manage a refer with 500 amp hours of battery for almost 20 hours without needing a generator

You are talking about October, you have lots of time to prepare.

Hook up the solar panels, disconnect from shore power and give it a try. At any point you discover that your current batteries aren't sufficient, plug back into shore power. Keep experimenting and by October you will be able to lecture on the subject rather than guessing based on internet chatter.

Chill Don.
No it isn't.
Dry camping and a "residential" refrigerator don't go well together.
It DOES cost you a lot of money to FORCE that into a convenient operation.

I would almost recommend that an RV previously used all or mostly attached to shore power and "converted" to a 120 V only fridge, be "converted" back to a standard 120/gas model fridge if it will now be used a lot for dry camping. In the long run, the cost might not be that much different and the hassle should certainly be less.

Thanks all great suggestions. I have another question. They want 25.00 to fill my 100 gallons freshwater tank at balloon fest. They want 25.00 to empty gray and black water tank. I could fill tank at campground before I get there and empty black and gray tanks. Not sure if carrying 100 gallons of water 300 miles is a good ideal. Again we are new to RVING still pulling price tags off stuff.
