I had unplugged my RV to moved it and forgot to plug it back in. Went 4 days no problem. Course it was just sitting I wasn't opening and closing the refrig doors. But batteries were hardly down much at all. When were traveling many times we don't run the generator and haven't had a problem. Yes I have the Samsung. Took out the Norcold and installed the Samsung. Best mod I ever did. Won't buy another rig without a residential style unless it's a REAL good $ and I can swap it to residential fairly easy.
Thanks, just need it to stay on the battery bank (4 6volts) overnite or perhaps up to 24 hours without opening and ice maker off.
Leave the ice maker running it will not make a noticeable difference. Running down the road with your fridge is also not an issue as the alternator will be charging more than the fridge will ever draw. This is not true in many trailer/5th wheel setups but should hold true in all Class A/C setups.
