Hi, I will probably be answering my question here myself but here goes..
Staying in a motorhome semi permanent, running a 140w solar panel to the leisure battery via a 20a controller, running off the leisure battery is a 600w inverter, plugged into that is a 10m extension cable, all I have for a moment,
I bought a 20L Mini fridge as the gas fridge doesn't work,I am slightly on a slope?no chance of changing that,
AC Power - Cooling - 55w / Heating 48w
DC Power - Cooling - 42w / Heating 36w
Also my 32" led 42w in ecomode,
I've had the fridge running all day, come back and put my TV on for 18mins and in inverter is beeping at me, check the battery light on the solar charge controller and it's red, meaning the power is drained, but then on my motorhome control panel the aux battery led is still green?
I gather running the fridge all day is culprit for the power drain,
I plugged in the fridge yesterday early evening and it was running for 24 hours
8-8, don't understand why I only got 18 mins out the tv, hoped it would last at least 2 hours.
Any solution you would undertake, don't think theirs any point getting gas as the incline
Any recommendations on wattage fridges,
Would a smaller fridge be better, or even downsizing the tv, but 42w is good for a TV isn't it?
I would be happy if I had 3 hours of tv, and anything that cools constantly, is that to much to ask for lol

No I'm 37 sick and tired of being on the bread line, all these years I've paid dead rent money and council tax water bills electric and gas companys, never will I be able to save enough for a deposit, this is why I'm doing this, I'm paying money rent for something I will own, which I can then sell, plus money I'll save on the way, I'm only in it for 4 nights a week, where I am I think I'll be ok as I've lived in the street for 4 years so people know me, all correspondence will go to c/o address, I'll have a gas fire to use so won't be cold, nothing another blanket or duvet won't solve, well if the tv don't work in the winter I'll charge my laptop at said address which will give me 2 hours ish of tv via wifi, legally if the police turn up and ask me to move I'll just say I live just their and walk in my partners, failing that a couple of car parks I've researched are £8 a night for 24h although not legally allow sleeping, will not be enforceable, 5 years is a long time but the way things are 5 years renting privately and I'll still be in the same position as I am now
