Thanks everyone for the info . Will the batteries be enough to power the fridge for a couple nights and a light or two ? I plan on going to a show in colorado in january and will be sleeping in the van for 2 to 3 nights . I will have a small heater running off the propane tank so I just need some power to last a few nights . I know i probably wont have to worry about the fridge thawing in colorado in january but was just curious about how much time you get off these batteries .

Hi Chain...

Depending on the quality and amp hour capacity of your batteries!

Your 800 watt power inverter will invert 12V DC battery power into 110V AC power. The drain on your two house batteries will more than likely be recognized by your power inverter by sounding an audible 'beep' warning you of low battery capacity. The power inverter will then stop producing 110V AC power!...to your refer, lighting, etc. to protect your batteries from deep dis-charge.
