Fridge use with no elec during emergency?
I understand that my 2 way Fridge will run on Propane, but does it require any electricity at all? Will it work if I am not plugged in and my batteries are completely dead? What about water heater? ...

All good advice, I would just like to clarify the water pump. While the water pump may draw a lot of power when it is running, it doesn't run very long, and in all will not use a lot of power. Think of it this way. Typical 3gpm pump will pull maybe 7A. A 50g water tank will be emptied in 50/3 = 17 minutes. This can happen all at once or in short bursts over a couple days. Either way it will be similar. So 17 minutes is about 0.3 hours, and at 7A the pump consumes a total of 7x0.3 = 2.1Ah. Not much it the scheme of things!
