Thanks, mazboy.
#2: that was my suspicion. Not enough juice to keep battery maintained.
#3: If you're asking, my reasoning is that I would want to know if the fridge is not running so that I can maybe take action to prevent losing everything.
#4: I had considered that, but weight and maintenance was making me think maybe they are overkill. We never boondock and only run 4-5 hours max without stopping where I'll have shore power to run/recharge. The original battery box is very small. I'm not even sure I could fit 2 batteries in it. Less than 12"x12" inside. I've never had lead acid batteries. How much maintenance can I expect realistically as far as refilling water levels, etc?
