Looks tidy!
Question: If you had an ARB fridge plugged in on a typical 12v constant power set up, I'd assume plugging in that shore power setup would keep the fridge running similar to switching the fridge plug to straight 120v?
I learned to read the posts above....exactly what y'all were trying to do.
I kept mine in the garage plugged in with 63q Edgestar running 24/7. Battery was always charged. The fridges don't take much power.Looks tidy!

Only run the generator to recharge to something like 80-90% full. The last 10% takes forever and you can't charge at full rate so why waste the gas. Use an external charger so charging can go as fast as possible. AGMs can typically be charged much faster than plate type batteries, but cycle life is lower.Another thing I've been thinking about (thought you smelled something burning) is even off grid charging using my Honda eu2000I generator. It typically runs about 8-10 hours under some load using about a gallon or so of gas. So it would be maybe an hour or two of running, to top off both batteries. The Honda generators do have a 12v cable with alligator clips, but IIRC, it only does about 8 amps, and you'd have to do one at a time....so this setup seems to be really ideal.
