I have a 4100 SCA 1999 and spending 2 days without shorepower. should I turn the refrigerator off or can the house battery sustain and not go dead? Thanks for any suggestions

Cannot answer without knowing the size of the house battery and power draw of the frig however I doubt it will last two days with the frig and other house loads for two days.

Thanks Battery is 8D. Ill just use an ice chest and not take any chances

Does the boat have an onboard generator? If not, I've used a Honda 2K portable for many years. I've gone 18 days disconnected from shorepower.

It does have a generator just not used to using it. It looks like this is a good time to use it Thanks Ray--"ohana"

If it does not get used make sure to test it before leaving the slip. The worst thing you can do to a genny is not use it. Even if you don't need it, it's a good idea to run it often under load.
