electricity for travel trailer
I have a Honda Ridgeline truck pulling a Jayco Eagle pop up. We are camping at a site with no electrical hookup. What type of equipment/setup do I need to power a 120V refrigerator? Thank you.

120V only? Full size or dorm size?
Either way, here is a suggestion that can reduce your electrical need and increase the stability of your fridge temp.
ICE. Remember your fridge is essentially a power assisted icebox/cooler. Adding ice to the freezer compartment can significantly reduce your cooling needs.
And to add to that thought... thermal mass.
Bring a cooler full of ice with pop / frozen water bottles / frozen juice boxes. Whenever you have any left-over space inside the fridge, fill it with items from the cooler. It takes a lot of energy to keep the air inside a fridge cold, but cold beverage containers need very little to keep them cold. (Don't put warm pop or water in!!!)
