Question:
Good afternoon, I have a 2020 Brookstone 310RL that has the solar plug on it, and I was wondering how many watts I need to keep my batteries charged. My unit has a residential refrigerator. Thanks

It is difficult to say without more information. It is really going to depend on the power used by the fridge and the size of your batteries. For example, a fridge like the Everchill # 324-000119 uses 11-amp hours of power, so it's going to consume 264 amp hours of power over the course of a day.
A residential fridge typically takes a large system like the Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System with 3 MPPT Solar Controllers - 1,140 Watt Solar Panels # 342-75011. Also, a minimum of 600 Ah battery bank is recommended for this kit so you might need to upgrade to add more batteries like # GP99QR or larger batteries like # GP26QR. Lithium is a good idea since they can be discharged without hurting anything unlike lead acid or AGM.
I have attached a help article below which covers solar power for your reference. I also attached our solar calculator which will help you determine how much power you need based on your setup.
