wow 120AH a day for the fridge, and if I run the microwav its when the grandkids are with me and the youngest needs a bottle warmed up so we are talking less the 5 min a day, other than that microwave popcorn haha. for me to keep to my 7 days reserve battery power I would have to almost tripple my LFP batteris I am putting intaking it from 2000 to 6000 bucks (maybe cheeper with the number of cells that would be I may get a better price) and solar would have to be increased. so for 5K I could buy a lot of propane haha.. I get some people want a residential fridge or need one for some purpose, My parent put on in there motorhome when there old one died, but they mostly snowbirded in araona for 3 to 4 months in the winter and only camp where they have power, and they have a generator if they need it. I am the odd one out, I have the 40 foot 5th wheel and I go in the bush (as long as I can get in with out to much dificulty, and not wreck my paint or anything, and camp for up to two weeks. I don't need a huge fridge as we can run into town for groceries or what not, but I can see the advantage if you snowbird or somthing like that.
