Hi Edd, Down here in Florida it is very important to keep the air conditioning in dehumidify mode to reduce the tendency for mildew. Thus, you'll need to be plugged in to shore power. As for refrigeration, yes, we keep that running as well. Overall we run an electric bill of +/- $20.00/month, and the air conditioning is running the majority of the time we are actually on the boat and it the slip due to a lack of good airflow, heat and humidity.
I will also highly recommend wiring in a Smartplug outlet & plug on your wire. They are much more dependable than the old twist type plugs, thus reducing the chance of electrical resistance, heat and fire. Good luck!
