Dry camping with one 12 volt battery.
Does anyone know how long one 12 volt battery will carry the refrigerator while dry camping, without recharging with the generator?' Thanks for your reply Jim

The standard draw on most newer RV's is about 800 mA per hour. This includes the fridge control panel, CO detector and so on. On a stock battery they usually run about 75 amps which means you can run them down to 40% of that. Any lower can do damage to the battery and limit the longevity of it. This means that you get a total of 45 amps which equates to 56 hours of run time. This calculation excludes the furnace, water pump or any lights that you have running.
