Thanks for the replies... unfortunately we're 1000 miles away from the dealer for the next 2 1/2 weeks....
We bought the RV with the residential fridge because we really liked all the other features... size/ storage/ size of slide/ levelers and auto gen start included. The salesperson indicated that by charging it up with generator early in the evening, we would have no problem going through the night and then running geerator in morning, and then explained that the auto gen feature would automatically take care of that par to fit and you could set evening hours for it to be off. I should have done a little more researc. Still, We're coming from 15 years of a pop-up trailer, and so I don't know that we'll be boondocking a tremendous amount.
