Wow, would it restart? A few hours really sounds short. Like I've said, 14 hours and no problem, one 12v battery...

I'd likely say you have an issue.
My boss has a residential fridge with one group 27 battery, after ten hours it gets low but not dead.
Is your charge line from your tv working?

When I bring my RV home for the next trip I am going to let it just run off of battery (no shore power charge, no tv) and see how long it runs...
I would suggest you check all your connections to your inverter and battery to make sure all are tight. If something is loose it could shut down and will not auto restart.
When you unplug the fridge do you rep lug and turn on inverter right away and then find it off again in several hours? Or do you have to wait some time before you can use it again? It seems if it comes right back on and then runs for several hours that you may have another issue than charge capacity, just saying...

First they thought it was the TV but checked it . All ok. Then thought it was the inverter. Now they tell me it is because the trailer calls for 4-6volts and they only installed 2-12 volt.

I don't buy it.
I'd get a second opinion.

Don't buy it either, inverter senses proper voltage both the same here. Current storage level is not available to the inverter. Both setups are sufficient for the task at hand.

There was a sticker on the wall of the battery compartment that showed the proper battery hookup diagram.

Just ordered a 36ckts yesterday at the Tulsa RV show. The one that they had at the show had 4 6volt batteries installed. The sticker stating that 4 6volt are required and showing the correct cable configuration was not in the compartment, or it was behind the batteries and not visible.

Me and the DW bought the 2015 36ckts . It has a label on the inside of the battery door showing 4-6 volt batteries and how they should be installed.

My label is on the back wall of the battery compartment, so you cannot see it when the batteries are in the compartment.

The only success I had was upgrading to a 2000 watt inverter. What batteries and set up I used didn't matter except to change the length of time the fridge would run when dry camping.

Sterlingsilver, are you saying that you had a problem with the fridge running trouble free with the standard 1000 watt inverter? Guess I don't understand why you needed to upgrade to a 2000 watt.

I have a 1,000 watt inverter in my camper and it's not the inverter that's the problem. My batteries aren't the best, I think I'm going to have to change the batteries. I have four six volt batteries but they are only 105amp each. I plan to check them out on a little three week trip soon.
