I would suggest that you get a real battery monitor first so you know exactly what is going on with your batteries. You will need it sooner or later in any case.

Sorry no Pics at this time.... I used some 16" flashing from Lowes... Positioned side by side to cover the width of the fridge....Using a Harbor Freight sheet metal brake ( bender) put a slight bend to match the top of the fridge, the other end a 90 degree bend to attach to the wall just above the top of the upper vent... using the natural bend of the flashing to direct air into the vent...

Running the gen for an hour won't do diddle for recharging your batteries if you have the stock WFCO charger. It will take 40 hrs to recharge a dead battery using the WFCO at a rate of 13.6V of charge.
If you want to charge faster you need to get a 4 stage charger like a PD 9100 or 9200 that has the Charge Wizard which allows you to manually override the charger and go to boost mode at 14.4V.
If you're on the 2nd or 1st light on your panel then your battery is way way low or almost dead. On the 3rd light I'm showing close to 12.2 which is almost 50% drained.
I have 500W of roof solar and 100W of portable feeding 4 6V GC batteries running a 12V fridge, 2000W inverter thats powering the whole coach along with a Dish sat receiver. On cloudy days the solar can't keep up so we run the gen for 2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs at night.
I installed a PD9100 charger in the front storage compartment that runs separately from the the OEM WFCO. When I need to boost the battery I run the gen and manually set the PD9100 to boost at 14.4. I can see the readout on my Victron app and it will tell me the volts going into the batteries..
Your batteries are draining because you're not giving them enough charge each day.

Get a solar panel!
So I had the same trailer with dual 6-volt batteries. I bought a portable 100watt solar panel from Amazon, and wired up a 50’ cord to plug into the Furrion connection on the front wall. You will need a solar controller also, but I would move that panel around the campsite throughout the day to follow the sun. That was enough to keep the batteries topped off to where we could boondock indefinitely.
