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...

After buying our new fiver, then adding solar, LFP batteries, and 3k inverter (see signature) we opted to replace the RV fridge (which was having issues) with a 20 cf Whirlpool res fridge. We are on our 4th day of boondocking and here are the results.
Solar charged to 99% state of charge at end of 1st day.
Solar charged to 96% SOC at end of 2nd day.
So it looks like we will need to run the genny once every 4 or 5 days for an hour or two. Or we might add another 400 watts of solar.
What is missing is how much battery AH you currently have and how many watts solar you currently have. Since LFP can be used down to 5% SOC, I would think you could easily go for a couple weeks, with current setup and usage.
