Thank you, Steve. Doesn't happen very often that people with res fridges measure power or energy.
I'm trying to draw practical conclusions out of these numbers, i.e. battery AH draw together with inverter. The lower end seems to be ~60-AH when it's not too hot inside and not too much food. Upper end will be - probably - 85-90 AH when it's hot inside and more food loaded or replaced. Not bad for a box of that size, but with other trailer loads it becomes significant. Daily generator for sure.
Well, it doesn't fit in 6-7 cu.ft cabinet anyway. Will keep looking.
Yup. When I don't have shore power I will be running the genny 1-3 hours a day.
I am hoping to add around 500-600 watts of solar next year.
Our other loads are pretty manageable. Our lighting is all LED. Our TV is a 27" LED. Fridge and water heater don't require 12v.
