Norcold N20DC Energyguide label

[George]

Does anyone have a copy of the federally mandated "Energyguide" label?
I do not remember seeing it on the refrigerator or in the documentation when we took delivery. Is it possible they aren't required on a 12vdc appliance? I'm particularly interested in the kWh/Year value.
Failing that request does anyone have data on power consumption?
Incredulously Norcold says "Runs up to 20 hours on a single battery charge". 😜

I saw you also asked this on the Facebook group. My 2023 340RL will consume about 5-7 amps while running. I'd say on average it will use about 70 amp hours per day, as it isn't "on" all the time...only when it needs to cool the frig or freezer. We have 810 amp hours of Lithium battery power and 2000w of solar on the roof, so I am never really concerned about the power draw, as I am typically back to 100% SOC everyday.

I'm planning a much more modest system. I plan to buy 2x 100AH LiTime's and continue with the 320W solar panel. Using your figure of 70AH/day I'd feel confident in being off grid for 2.5 days with that 200AH — with no heater usage, zero help from the solar, and being conservative on other 12vdc usage.

As long as you have direct sunlight on the panel for ~6-8 hours you should be ok
