Westend--- Thanks --- that gives me a guideline.... the only time I'll probably need to do that is when we are getting ready to go out on a trip and the MH is in the storage lot w/o electric so I need to start up the refer a day before hand. ?
I would turn it on a hour or two before leaving, it would be ice cold in that period of time. I wouldn't let it get below 12 volts. That's about 50% discharge. Just got done putting in a residential refrigerator in my 5th wheel. Its amazing how fast it will get cold. In my fridge it takes about 15 amp hours to cool down the from completely warm and only about a hour to do it.
