New to RV looking wisdom

Hi all new to rvs here just purchased 2023 Keystone Springdale. And have a couple of questions. The camper has a solar panel.
Should the lights and fridge work without been plugged into power. Also. Camper has only 1 Lithium battery is this correct. Should there not be 2. Final question is purchased 4500 inverter genorater should be able to run the A/C.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum :wlcm:

If the battery is charged and the disconnect is in the proper position, yes the lights should work, and the fridge. 4500W gen is plenty to run a single AC.

If you have the factory solar (200W) it should charge the battery and keep the fridge running.
Yes on battery, lights (they're 12v) will work. Very little need to touch disconnect unless doing any maintenance - leave batter connected so that it may charge via solar or the on board inverter/charger when plugged into shore power.
Lastly if the Generator/inverter is external (gas/porpane) meaning you'll plug your shore power cord to it, you can certainly use it to power the AC, charge your on board battery and a little more with that wattage. Did that with our old Springdale many times.
If the gas generator is installed directly into the RV correctly - to the internal panel that will also work.
If your inverter generator is solar (meaning really just a large battery) it won't power the AC too long, and will need to be recharged via solar or external power.

One battery is typical. Many people add a second battery if they want additional power storage but it is not mandatory for the camper to function.
