our fridge could run on batteries and solar several days,
IF we were not home
But we full time, and its all the other things we do that push the limit
right now we are dry parked under a shade tree, its 90+ outside we have three small desk size fans running and 1 20" box fan, this laptop and fridge
ALL of it running from inverter power from the batteries with some partial solar charging taking place
dinner time will be a two hr generator run, cook with MW, watch the evening news and top up the batteries
its NOT just about the fridge, unless you weekends only and spend all your time outside
if you full time or other extended camping there are Other "power needs" besides the fridge
we love our residential fridge,
but the number of batteries needed varies with the Person and the USE
Adam have fun.. i'm sure it will work out for you
