Re Fridge (And furnace) they burn propane for heat and 12 volts for other stuff (Fans. Control power. Ignition)
Re battery upgrade from one to two
MARINE/deep cycle are primarily starting batteries You should keep them at 75-80% minimum.
GC-2 Golf car batterries (you need 2 in series to make 12 volt) are TRUE deep cycle. so is the GC-12 (a 12 volt Golf Car Battery) you can safely take ''em to half full
Some capacity averages (note specific battery may vary up to 15%
Group 24 75 amp hours
Group 27 just under 100
Group 29 Just over 100
Group 31 about 130
GC-2 Pairs 220
GC-12.. I am not sure but I think abound 150
The most popular battery is the GC-2 (By that I mean they make more of them than any other size) and thus the cost per unit is lower due to the economy of scale.
