Standard vs Residential Refrigerator
We are considering a new 5th wheel Rv and the one we are looking has the big residential refrigerator with ice maker and water in the door. I have many questions that I can't seem to get answere...

I have 4 six volt batteries and a 2000 watt inverter.
There was a thread on another forum recently and the consensus was about 8-10 hours on 4 batteries without the engine running down the road.
I tested mine at that time and left it on overnight. I got about 8 hours on my 4 batteries before the auto gen start kicked on at 12 volts.
YOur problem will not be travelling between RV parks, but your plan to leave the fridge on overnight to cool down before a trip. With only 2 batteries, it looks like 4-5 hours would be max before your batteries get discharged below a safe level.
