You can run it that long but why would you need to for that many hours? The refer should be able to run on propane unless it is a residential model. Your alternator will keep up once your battery banks are full.

The previous owner cut the propane line because she was scared to drive with the tanks full.. So it can only be ran on the gen or electric. Just wanna make sure I don't over do the gen.

Fix the propane line and run the refer on propane. Buy an inverter and run the X box and TV on the inverter. You don't need to spend extra money and have the wear on your generator. Save it for when there is actually a need.

If you really want to treat your yourself, the batteries and generator right, invest in some solar. You will recoup the investment on solar in a few years by not having to replace batteries and the fuel savings on the generator. You'll also be able to camp away from power pedestals and enjoy the quiet of the outdoors.
