A group 31 AGM battery is about 100 amps, 50 amps usable. Two batteries gives you 100 amps usable. On 100 degree day (you probably won’t be at Walmart), you could be close. Best of luck.
As a new HC owner, I had the same thought / question as Brian S. Really appreciate being a part of this group. The bit about researching the model fridge for it's annual wKh usage to come up with the number for watts used per day had not occurred to me. Thanks for bringing this up so that the numbers could be put into the proper formula. Aggravating that I didn't think of this on my own.
