As I said - I don't understand (and yep Ted thanks for pointing that out). Our coach on 4 Trojan 105s makes it easily through the night (11 to 7) running our residential frig, CPAP and some SAT TV. Batteries set at about 11.9-12 volts each morning. We are not wanting to eliminate the gennie in total but rather to help top up the batteries during the daytime. Other choices are to run a 2000 watt generator for about 8 hours a day. As I said, we are no hook ups for about 2.5 months each winter.

So here is what I don't understand - how many batteries do you have? Is your alternator not charging your household batteries while you driving? What else are you running beyond your residential refrig - based on our experiences over the last 4 winters - our 4 Trojan T105s are more that equal to the task of 8-10 hours of residential refrig. Oh yes - I turn the ice maker off each night to avoid the draw of the automatic ice maker. So I'd recommend you look at your battery bank as well as the charging source.
