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...

When we leave for a trip, I take all my stuff to the storage area that morning, including food. Turn the fridge on, put cold food in the fridge, hook up and head out. No "pre-cooling" necessary. Never had an issue. The combination of the fridge starting to cool plus adding the cold food brings it to the right temp pretty quickly.
As to your original question, we have 2 batteries and solar and I would expect it can run without hookups for a few hours, maybe a day. But while travelling the cord to the truck supplies power. This is the Achilles heel to a residential fridge, they aren't conducive for boondocking. Ok with us as we don't boondock. If we did, I'd have a different setup.
