I posted once before about my 12v GE fridge being power hungry.
Now that I have a shunt installed I have some non-scientific numbers to share after 5 days dry camping.
Outside temps were highs of 90 and lows of 65. Most of the time the amps being used was 6.5, with nothing else on. Sometimes a low of 5.5, but that was infrequent. I didn't check in the middle of the night.
Using 6 as a conservative average gives you about 144amps per day.
In case you are doing the mental math in your head, that's right, you'll need 2 more of those group 24 batteries your dealer installed just to get through the entire day.
Hope this helps someone with their power planning. As usual, your milage may vary.
