Concur ! In my book, "deep cycle" means 6V golf cart batteries. 4 GC2 batteries (2 in series and those in parallel with the other 2 in series). That will give you OVER 400 Ah @ 12V.
6V AGM golf cart batteries are available (Trojan T105-AGM), but they are expensive. You would have to order them through a golf cart store or a solar power store.
Only be using batteries to cool down overnight before leaving in morning. No other power draw, inverter set up for fridge use only.
Absolutely no reason what so ever to "cool down" a residential fridge over night.
It WILL be ready in ONE cooling cycle which from 60F-110F ambient air temp should not be much more than 40 minutes to one hour!
Throw all of your cold and frozen food in the fridge then start it up on inverter and get on the road.
We are not talking a RV absorption fridge which can take 12hrs to 24hrs..
Residential fridges rock with much faster recovery rates..
