Idroba did an excellent job in helping you understand your energy requirements. Keep in mind though that the battery manufacturer recommends that you do no discharge your cell more than 50%. So for your battery, 100 A*hours becomes more than 50 A*hours of useful capacity. You should consider increasing your battery bank when adding an inverter.

Idroba did indeed do an excellent job in helping me understand. Thank you all very much for your replies and knowledge.

Here is my plan. Let's see if I learned anything.

I am going to add another panel. Right now my two panels are pulling 13.6 from 6am to 8pm and 14.4 when the sun is directly on them. I am in Southern California.

I am going to add another battery just like the one I have now.
Full River G-31 12volt Battery 128@100hrs and 91@5hrs

Here is the inverter I am looking at Xantrex PROWatt 2000 Inverter, Model# 806-1220

Well this get me off in the right direction?

I need an Inverter, help me please!

Just a note, my Haier 10 cuft fridge only draws 1 amp when running on AC 120. (Which translates to 10 amp + 1 amp 12 DC, and the compressor does not run full time.

I run my whole trailer, (less the Air conditioner) on my bigger inverter, but through a 15 amp breaker, (1,800 watts) so your 2,000 amp should be plenty big enough.

Additionally, your tow vehicle should top off your batteries whenever you tow for more than a couple a few hours.

I have been using my setup for a couple of years now, and it has worked for me pretty well.
