Steve,
I don't remember the exact spec on the inverter but it was a discontinued model. I got a heck of a deal on them. I also run another for the entertainment area.
It is a 1000 watt Pure Sine Wave. PSW is advisable for most elec app. I had a Mod sine wave but the TV barked at it.
The one for the fridge is dedicated to that circuit. I did run a second outlet off it for charging devices while boon docking and when on shore power it is also available.
The sizing is perfect for the fridge, anything less can struggle (a friend tried that with same fridge, had to go to the 1000) With a god quality smaller sized inverter the residual draw when not demanded is very low to near zero when on. This is why I chose to go with the smaller inverters as opposed to a large 3000watt whole trailer type setup. We even have a 300watt set up for the bedroom TV. It also serves our printer and charging devices, wifi setup etc. We turn it on as needed.
I have not measured the usage. We run on 4 6V batts and find no issues boon docking for days with normal usage of the trailer and charge using a Honda 2000 or two, about 2 hrs a day. We also run second inverter in the AM and PM for TV etc. Furnace at night as req.
When we drive, the small amount the truck charges the bats keeps the bats at the same level as when we departed in the AM after a full day on the road with fridge on.
We are very happy with this setup. No issues at all.
Bill
