Res refers use a lot of power relative to propane types. The refer size makes a difference. The popular 18 cu ft Samsung draws about 1.5A AC which is about 17A inverter draw.
I would not have any battery bank less that 4 6's deep cycle golf cart rated at 440Ah. Even so you will run the gen 1-2 hours every day assuming your charger is 100A+. Plus most will also want solar.
There are many posts etc that can get you up to speed. Be aware that a deep cycle 12V marine battery is a compromise and little more than a starting battery.
Many campers travel from pedestal to pedestal so battery power is a not issue to them. But boon docking is a completely different type of camping.
