The newer big MH's are energy hogs even without a home refer and require a bunch of solar and/or generator run time. We boondock a lot and use a lot of electronic's as we take our office with us and ended up running the generator an hour in the mornings and two in the evenings with a propane refer. This is with 800 amp hours of batteries and 200 watts of solar. Replacing my plasma TV with a LED would probably let me put in a RF197 model Samsung and not increase my generator run time as the plasma was that big an energy HOG.
I would not let the home refer be a deciding factor as they have gotten very energy efficient. From your previous posts I doubt you will be in the MH all that much during the day.
