2011 31 Open: Running the Refrigerator without Shore Power
#2
That's a tough question to answer given the information you provided. Is your house battery deep cycle, how old, what size, is it also your starting battery? Does your engine charge this battery? Do you have a parallel start switch if the battery is low? How many batteries do you have? Do you have cross connect switches? Etc.
The refrigerator pulls about 10 amps running and will kill a weak battery in no time.
If your generator runs for 30 minutes and shuts down you probably have an over heat problem. Time for a  water pump repair.
My suggestion is to take along extra bags of ice and leave the frig OFF.
