Recharging via generator and/or solar panels
Since I have both options, from a power management perspective, since the 120W folding panel has diodes... must I only run one, or the other, and have a complete disconnect of the input from the solar...

Fridge on propane plus LP alarm and stereo clock takes 17AH/day in our rig, when we are away, fridge left on. That was in the summer daytime 80F. If using the rig, don't know fridge draw. The door would be opened and closed many times, which must add to it.
The actual draw is a small amount when the burner is not lit, part of a 0.3a standing draw in the rig. The burner when on takes another 0.5a
About the same on my unit.
LP alarm plus stereo draw .3 for 7.2 Ah/24 hrs
Fridge draws .5 when burner on.
100% duty cycle = 12 Ah
75% duty cycle = 9 Ah
50% duty cycle = 6 Ah
Total Parasitic draw is 13 to 19 Ah.
