Admittedly though We do have a 250 watt Solar panel ...

if you're worried? just turn the Fridge off when you go to Bed.....
The N70 deep cycle battery has around 102ah, +25% more than his 75ah so thats not surprising really, 25% is quite a bit in this instance.
Using a conservative formula of 2ah for the fridge over 12hrs is 24ah consumption, from your 102ah battery youre still at 75% so it wouldnt trigger a monitor set to 'low', you could probably get away with 'med'.
