Does anyone what wattage is needed to run only the Alde panel and refrigerator if only using LP

This is the Alde power info for running on propane: about half an amp when the Alde is actually running.

How much electrical power does the heating system use?

There are two mechanisms in the Alde Compact boilers that draw >0.1 A current from the vehicle 12-volt battery. The exhaust fan venting waste gases (≈0.4 A), and the heating fluid being pumped around the circuit (≈0.2 A). So normal draw from the vehicle battery is between ≈0.2–0.6 A, including the control panel. Max draw is 1.9 A for approximately three seconds at system start-up.

Max draw from 120 V mains is ≈7,9 A on 1 (1 kW) or ≈15,8 A on 2 (2,1 kW)

Are the amp draws you have posted above the same for using the Alde for heat on propane & running off of the trailer 6 volt batteries?  Thank you

I think the reference to “vehicle 12-volt battery” above does not mean tow vehicle.  It referenced a battery in a motorhome or van that uses the Alde.  Still the same draw from our TaB batteries.
