My inverter shows 20A draw when the fridge is running, most of the time. When in defrost or the ice maker is dumping it can spike quite a bit. But then the fridge doesn't run all of the time either. My Thor coach came with 100amp/hr, batteries, I suspect that yours did too. The batteries can generally get me through a good nights sleep and maybe a little more. I recently upgraded to 120amp/hr and they seem to be doing a little better but I don't think that any lead acid battery is going to give you the rated power without damaging it. If you have incandescent bulbs you need to upgrade them to LED. I have not put in any solar panels but I am thinking about shooting for at least 300 watts if I do. I have been looking at Lithium Iron batteries but just can't convince myself to drop that much money yet.
