Jake,

I have two of these in my van, one each main and aux boxes. My Vitrifrigo and rest of the kitchen are wired to the aux under the driver's seat. I've only camped 3 days in one place at most without starting the van and the fridge stays at 40 degrees and freezes 3 ice cube trays no problemo.

the kitchen panel light flickers green/orange when turned on during this time, and with any engine running it always starts back up on green when I reach my next camp spot, which is anywhere from 20 to 100 miles later. So far so good. These batteries are quite a bit smaller than the OE G/41 and need some wood pieces to take up the extra battery box space. I modded the main clamp to make it fit as I  have a Sure Power 1315 separator in there too.
