SWharton Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 We will be boondocking with our MH for the first time. We have a residential refrigerator and 4 house batteries. Overnight is our concern. We can't run the generator, We will need to run the Fantastic fans(at least one, maybe both) overnight. If we leave the refrigerator on will the house batteries support it or should we turn the refrigerator off overnight just to be safe?

Yarome Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 If I remember correctly.. you've got 440ah on board.. you're good to go leaving the reefer on. It won't drink much. You're fine with both fans going as well. You WILL want to put a couple of hours on your genset in the morning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 If you start with a full house bank you should be OK, but you will have a pretty good deficit in the morning. The refrigerator will take around 100-110 DC amphours - maybe less. The fans, run on low, will not take much. Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.
