FYI, a watt is a unit of measuring power/ It's useful to use when in discussion of electrical devices because they're commonly measured in wattage consumed.
Yes, your consideration of efficiencies is valid. Fortunately, my inverter draws less than 500 ma when idling. I estimate that it's about 95% efficient with the conversion. I have no parasitic draws in my rig other than the inverter idling. I know most folks have a bunch of them.
From the battery monitor, I'm seeing 40-60 AH used by the fridge, daily. It depends on how much it's loaded, door opening events, and the ambient temp.
