Residential Fridge battery run time
I know there are variables involved here on the manufacturer of the fridge, battery etc... But for those of you that have one assuming the standard group 27 battery the dealer gives you - how long can...

Any battery of that capacity (~80 amp-hours), even my beloved SiO2 chemistry, is not going to be enough. Two 100 amp-hour batteries are probably not going to be enough. 300 amp-hours would be minimal. Recharging of a bank of that size in 4 hours would be about 1000 watts of panels.
A dc to DC charger would be useful for charging while trundling down the road.
I suggest using a kill-a-watt meter to actually measure the energy this fridge uses, per 24 hours.
