Residential Fridges

I did a limited test, in the drive way.
Fridge is an Samsung RF18.
Inverter is a Tripplite RV750ULHW.
Batteries are 5-year-old T105 flooded cell. MH is on 30amp/110v all the time, at the house. Water level above plates.
All measurements were done at the battery terminals. Starting, I flipped the CB off and the bats were at 12.6. At 8 hours the bats were at 12.1 and I turned 110 back on.

Mine setup with solar works well boondocking. Cloudy days, the generator may come into play.

Yes. RV's with a residential fridge also has an inverter and increased sized battery bank. Some add solar to help if they plan to boondock a lot or just plan to run the generator a few hours in the morning and a few more at dinner time.
The inverter can be a smaller (1000W ish) inverter just for the fridge but most have a whole house inverter (2000W or higher) that also powers the fridge. Having the larger inverter is good if you also have a larger battery bank as the larger inverters will have a much better battery charger to top off the batteries quicker if you do need to run the generator.

X2 Most big rigs need 2-3 hours of generator time even without a residential refrigerator. I added a 2nd system (batteries, 1000W PSW inverter, and 100A charger) for my 21 cuft refer install. 2 batteries will power it for 30 hours before needing to recharge...longer than the house batteries. Best mod ever.
