That depends on the design. My fridge on propane runs through approximately 35 amp-hours per day. Duty cycle is 2:3. - azrvingExplorer

yup
If I tell you that the fridge pulls X amps the nitpickers will be on it like flies on stink arguing over a milliamp. Your propane fridge circuit board and gas valve use 12 v all the time. Amp draw goes up a little when the the gas valve opens. - swimmer_speExplorer

Wanna see an RV manufacturer scream? Tell him something is going up s dollar in price.
Wall monitors for voltage may cost five dollars. They are not worth 99 cents
Ok, so what do I get? leme guess something expensive that won't really tell me much more.... - swimmer_speExplorer

What voltages are you seeing as you use it? Have you checked the gravity?
I had it tested and it is good. But I kept killing it. Tells it is still a good battery, but not up for what I need it for.
Maybe you need more than one. Even a true deep cycle may not help you if you try to pull too many amp hours. I run six GC2 and use all they have. Do an energy audit.
Hoow do I do one? Only thing besides the lights is the furnace.
Suggest you Google "the 12 Volt Side of Life". Your battery is used for more than just lights.
Besides the CO/smoke detector there is nothing else, unless you count the odd time I turn the pump on.
I have no other powered things. I don't have things that have residual power consumption.
The radio clock uses power and some Dometic fridges have a Climate Control feature that drains battery power when not plugged into shore power.
None of those on my trailer. - MEXICOWANDERERExplorer$1.99 three light indicator
