1 As long as I’m driving down the road, the chassis alternator will charge the batteries which power the inverter which powers the refer, so I can leave the refer on;
2 As long as the sun is shining, the 200 watts of optional solar power on the roof will further assist in charging the batteries;
3 Whenever I plug into 110v power, the batteries will auto charge;
4 With AGS activated, the generator will auto start to recharge the batteries should they reach a low threshold discharge level (or I can manually use the generator to charge the batteries at my discretion);
5 When storing the DX3 in a climate controlled indoor storage facility plugged into 110v power, I can choose to run the refer 24/7 or not.
6 All of this stuff pretty much works automatically so I shouldn’t have to spend a bunch of time thinking about it as I travel around spending days and nights in RV parks or boondocking.
Incidentally, the DX3 is on order and while this will be my 3rd MH and 8th RV, it will be my first with a residential refer that only runs on 110v. Up to now, I’ve always had units that also ran on propane. Accordingly, understanding this 110v only refer operation is a bit unclear to me.

That all seems accurate. You will have zero issues when driving or when plugged in with proper power.
Just make sure you have the inverter enabled...the fridge will need that.
