That hail storm had large hail which tore holes in the...

Just purchased a new Cedar Creek Hathaway edition 5th wheel. Was wondering if anyone has used solar panels to charge their battery. Will a 40 AMP solar panel keep the batter charge to run a 1000 w inverter in storage for about 8 or 9 hours to cool down a whirlpool residential refrigerator...
