Honestly, with a 6 or 8 cuft absorption refrigerator, the DC heating element would completely drain a GP24 battery in a couple hours. It's sort of: Stop at McDonald's for lunch, leave the refrigerator in the trailer on DC and come out to a dead battery. We had a 3.5 cuft Dometic 3 way in our cab-over camper on a Dodge truck with a single battery, if we stopped for an hour or more and the refrigerator was running on DC, we couldn't start the truck when we got back...
So, in the "grand scheme of things" you'd probably never use it except when towing and then, if you're planning to dry camp, you'd use more battery power than the truck could replace while towing, so after a couple of trips, you'd learn to just leave it on propane. In other words, you'd learn not to use the DC section.... LOL
