i like everything EXCEPT fridge on solar during the day
that 300+ watts is a lot of drain

if you want to use elect for fridge, replace the fridge, with either a residential fridge or a DC compressor fridge with a dan Foss style compressor
either one will use less electric energy (amp hrs) than the RV fridge,
1/3 the power or even less
i'm sure PianoTuna will be along and elaborate on power use of an RV fridge on solar and batteries
