Fridge on propane still needs 12V to run control circuitry.
Figured it did since it's lights are on when we are traveling. Also figured it was insignificant compared to interior lights, water pump etc but I don't actually know the real draw.
As does the water heater when operated on LP......... But IIRC, the fuse on an Atwood water heater control board is only 2 amps, so not a lot of power demand there.
FWIW: I dry camped earlier this year (3 days) in the Ocala Nat'l Forest. I had two Group 27 12v batteries in parallel. Even with management of the lighting, exhaust fan, etc. the batteries were down to approximately 60% of their capacity when we left to go home; think 50% is considered discharged on a deep cycle battery, but others here may have more info.
