Residential Refrigerators While Boondocking
I'm new to the world of having a residential refrigerator in my RV. Does anyone have any tips on how to get the most out of a residential unit when mostly boondocking? Thanks.

I have a 2012 Monaco Knight 36PFT Diesel Pusher which should be identical to the OP's 2013. It has a 2800 watt Magnum inverter and 3 stage charger, 4 L16 6v batteries (about twice the size of a normal 6v), and generator auto-start.
The refrigerator will run off the batteries for about 24 hours depending on how hot it is and other loads. I have dry camped once for 4 days, and it was hot (100 degrees). With our normal running of the generator for an hour or so in the morning and evening to cook meals we had no issues keeping the batteries charged and the refrigerator running.
