We're driving a large fifth wheel (43 feet) with a large residential refrigerator (whirlpool, if that maters). We only have two 12 volt deep cell batteries.
So I have a few questions:
1. What would be the most cost effective way to equip our RV to boondocks for at least 48 hours. I'm less concerned about air conditioning or microwave, btw, than keeping the refrigerator running. We can live without air conditioning, but we keep a lot of meet in the freezer. How many batteries would we need? Generator or Solar panels? How much weight would all this add to the RV?
2. Would it be possible to go two days on battery power alone? If so, how many and what size would we need?
Thanks for any thoughts you might have.
