We do a lot of dry camping and have not had an issue with our residential refrigerator. Last summer we camped for 5 days in the Apgar campground in Glacier National Park - no hook-ups, generator restriction to a couple of hours in the morning and couple in the evening. They do allow 2 hours in the mid-day, but we were never there. And we weren't always there in the evening. Anyway, we had no trouble with the batteries being low.
We have 6 12-volt group 31 AGM house batteries and a 2800 watt inverter.

But, you did run the generator at least once or twice a day?
Yes, but probably didn't need to as much as we did. Sarah had to have her coffee in the morning and she likes to cook in the evenings. On average, I would guess that we ran the generator for 2 hours each day. I will add that we have done 2 night weekends, without running the generator, but we were using much electricity other than the refrigerator - no furnace, or television. In the evenings, we were out by the campfire, so we really didn't use lights very much.
