I have a centurion CS 3000 with an output of 30 amps and a dometic fridge RM 2193 with a draw of 10.5 amps. Assuming my battery has a life of 60-80 amp hrs, the battery would be dead after 8 hours. So it looks like the fridge is the culprit. Thanks again for helping me reason this through. To...

I have a 3 way fridge so as you say and I suspect the fridge may draw more than the converter can supply to charge battery. I'll also check the voltage across the battery while connected to shore power and keep an eye on the voltage.  Thanks again, much appreciated.

After thinking about I more I realized that the trailer and fridge was running on the battery for about 8 hours. So it's most likely that 8 hours with the fridge on caused the battery to drain. I feel more confident that I don't have some other electrical problem that is draining my batteries...

Sounds like a great plan. The one comment I have is the leg from balboa park to kings canyon for 225 miles. Realize that the last miles into kings canyon are at slow speeds as you wind up into the mountains sometimes as slow as 25 miles per hour. I have travelled this route a few times but...

I'm new to this forum and have to say you guys are great. I tried the electrical system while connected to shore battery without a battery and no power. So it appears as John suggested that my converter requires a functioning battery otherwise it's an open circuit. Another question: I...
