New shore service tripled energy bill

We recently ran a 50 amp service to our barn where or FW resides… I left the power connected over the past couple months to keep the battery topped off … I also left our fridge on (electric) for a couple guests who stayed a few nights (no a/c usage as it was cool outside)..: the fridge ran for the entire two month period…

I recently reviewed our electric bill… typically we’re in the 300-400 kWh range… last two months were 1186 & 1346 kWh…

Does the fridge use that much juice or should I be looking for a parasitic draw somewhere between the house and the barn?

My 30' Class A (30 amp service) a with a single rooftop AC and a Dometic 2652 Fridge on electric uses about $45.00 per month in the Albuquerque summer paying $.15.5 per kwh for metered shore power. I use the AC and the fridge everyday. About 290 Kwh per month. No water heater. IMO, something (major) is left on in your RV. As Doug mentioned, my bet is your electric water heater if you have one.
