The power numbers are pretty interesting, you may be convincing me to do the same as it likely also is going to work better as a fridge too.
My fridge is gone, like $1,000 to fix. I have been using one of those 12 Volt coolers when dry camping while 'I figure it out'.
The electrical cooler takes ~3 amps, on full time (yes no thermostat, yes it freezes food on a cool night). That works out to ~50% more power than your full size fridge (~.9 KWH per day).
My inverter is not PSW like yours, I'd guess that would take a too big hit on the efficiency unless I upgraded that at the same time.
Thanks for the share.
