sometimes stressing over the 'time' you have on your batteries makes the 'camping' into more of a job... I think you're learning, and starting to understand that's there is simply no 'rule' to how long anything will do anything - the fridge is not 'always' running, yet it runs more when it's hot outside, or you stuff it full of food for the trip, or when folks open it a lot during the day, etc., and yet you can actually turn it OFF during the overnight hours and may find that it not only saves you on battery amps, but also is still cold enough in the morning - after all, it's a super large cooler.

You may also have the option of putting your Inverter into 'search watts' mode, if available, where the inverter uses much less 'amps' in stealth mode, until the Fridge's compressor actually asks it to power back up.


I live not too far from you in Hayesville - but my only attempt into Standing Indian several years ago was the day they closed for the season. Sad, such a long drive for nothing - not even the sign at US64's entrance gave away that they were closed. Maybe one day...
