12V fridge

Hi first post new member
i have a Waeco CR-65 fridge in a trailer, I have a 12V/100 amp hour battery which is recharged daily by 2X60W solar panels model RS-M60 which have the following specs: open circuit voltage - 21.96/short circuit current - 3.82A/max power current 3.57A/max power voltage - 17.82V The fridge draws either 5.7A or 1.9A, or 45W depending on which sheet you read (huge discrepancy trying to get to the bottom of it today). Problem is i just went away for two weeks and battery simply did not keep up, panels were used for charging from 7am to sunset (around 8:30pm daily), a few overcast days but a lot of sun also. any suggestions as to what the problem could be.
