Deer Lease - Off-grid Trickle Charge

I am going to have my camper off the grid for about 3 to 4 months with no power hookups. I will be using the camper on weekends, but not during the week but want to keep the refrigerator running. Can I set up a 100 watt solar panel directly connected to my 12V batteries to keep it charged during the week when nobody is present and keep the refrigerator running?

A lot depends on what fridge you have. Residential, 2-way RV fridge, 12v only fridge, 3-way fridge?
