Mike,
I don't have the running or peak amps handy now, but 600watt is too small and 1000 is plenty. I am using a 1000watt Zantrax pure sine wave (old new stock clearance at CW last winter.) Runs it just fine and does not have much of any draw when no load.
I think DRV as an option installs a 1000watt when just for the fridge. They said they tested these fridges in the hot summer sun and it was fine to leave it turned off for 8hrs when not opened. Lost a min amount of temp. Recovered quickly. So unless dry camping, and Inverter would be a luxury.
It will run the fridge all day when we drive and no drop in Battery level at all. Truck charging enough to maintain things. Some say can just turn it off for the day. I like it to run.
Fridge was around $450 (for a single size, we had the single door dometic)
Inverter was a deal at $169. Was a $400 unit reg price.
I added a auto changeover switch and a remote on/off for about $70 total. Some misc wiring etc.
Bill
