First, I am 100% in favor of compressor refrigerators, be they 120VAC or 12VDC. They just work better, especially in hot weather.

So the question, the Class B+ comes with two 12 volt house batteries and a 1000 watt inverter.
A pair of Group 27 "dual purpose" batteries will give you about 180 Ah of power.
A pair of 6V golf cart batteries will give you about 225 Ah of power, likely will last longer and their replacement will cost less !A 1000W inverter may or may not adequate for your refrigerator, depending on the model. Some are very efficient, some are not. BUYER BEWARE ! Do your homework !
Sadly, RV manufacturers are SEVERAL years behind the "technology" curve. You would be better off with a with a inverter/charger/automatic transfer switch and just a DC distribution panel, no converter. Sadly, few RV manufacturers offer this.

I’ll also get a solar panel and controller on it. I do plan on boondock it quite a bit in the back country in Nevada. Should I have any power issues? If I run the generator a couple of hours a day plus having the solar will that keep the batteries charged?
Not enough information ! How much solar ? How big of a generator ? If the generator has to run an A/C then it will take a lot more than "a couple of hours".
Also, do no bet on driving to recharge your batteries, unless you get a DC-DC charger.
