thanks for all the feed back yes the refrig was running on LP. guess I need to have the batteries tested the bad side is I don't dry camp much hate to put out a lot of money just to have them go bad again.
I have 2 12 volt deep cycle batteries

Most "new to me" units come complete with dead batteries.

I went dry camping for the first time in my new to me 2014 class c and to my surprise the batteries did not make it thru the night the next night the only thing I left on was 1 led light and the refrig. when I got up same thing batteries volts around 5.5 is this normal?
