Two 6 volt vs two 12 volt run time
I was just informed that two 6 volt batteries would run the residential refrigerator many times longer than two 12 volt batteries. I wonder if this is just hype?

I installed a 1000 watt PSW inverter in our trailer's front pass through cargo compartment and wired the outputs to dedicated receptacles - one outside the trailer for powering a fan on really hot days sitting under the awning and 3 duplex receptacles inside, one of each side of the bed and a third at the galley where I can power a toaster or coffee maker. Since we only use this periodically when we're without shore power for one reason or another I run with just one G27 battery - for powering light loads such as a fan that's more than enough but when the inverter is under heavy load from the toaster or coffee maker load supporting it with the truck prevents excessive voltage drop which would otherwise cause the inverter to alarm & shut down. A dozen pics start here.
