Which plate system did you go with here? Kinda looks like the Goose Gear, but different texture.

full fridge at 36/38* it ranges from 15-17hrs depending variables likes temp outside and how many times its open and closed. The solar panels full charge the EB3A in about 2.5-3hrs at 75-90KW if its cranking at 110-120kw then around 2hrs

So basically it keeps it running overnight and needs to be recharged with solar daily? I’m shopping battery banks and curious.
You definitely want a battery that is north 500Wh, 750 seems like a sweet spot. IceCo sells a magnetic battery pack that sticks to the outside of their fridges. My 298Wh battery in the EcoFlow lasts 28-32 hours typically, but the EcoFlow uses some superior insulation compared to others. I can't remember if I mentioned it in this thread or another, but the Bronco's inverter port with the Glacier's AC adapter are a sweet combo. You get 200W of charging so you can bring that battery from dead to full in 90 minutes.
Personally I like the built-in battery. I got burned twice on my IceCo with the 12V adapter coming loose while wheeling and my food going bad. Dometic has a threaded solution to avoid that issue.

is this like a power station or just a shore power battery? Just curious, I’m shopping power stations for prime day.
Ended up getting their 45qt dual zone with a battery, the size of it was very appealing compared to the Rocky and the glacier. And it was like 500 out the door
I went with the Setpower PT35 because it was on sale for under $300 back in Feb. Two compartments separately controlled. Been on a cross country and some local camping trips. Holding up great. I have a Bluetti AC180 solar battery to run it. Use the Bronco rear 12v while driving. Here it is in my 2-door. I don’t think you can go wrong with the ones you listed, as long as it has the features you want. Grab it if it’s on sale.

how much is it drawing off the battery overnight? I’ve been looking at the ac180, anker c1000, delta 2 etc but wondering if I could get away with a slightly smaller and lighter unit.I went with the Setpower PT35 because it was on sale for under $300 back in Feb.

Here it is on my 2-door.
I grabbed the Bluetti also because it was on sale, with two 150w solar panels. It’s big and heavy. Can run my fridge for about 5 days, if nothing else is plugged into it. Of course depends on the temp you have your fridge set at, outside temps, etc. Do the research, it has to have the power to start and run the fridge. I have a smaller 300w unit and it won’t run the fridge. The larger ones shouldn’t have a problem.
While at camp it ran the fridge for 5 days straight.
Thanks for the info. I was able to compare this to the simulator I built for modeling these kind of scenarios:
