Residential Fridge - battery power
We just replaced the Norcold with a residential refrigerator. The question is - if I turn on the inverter will it run the refrigerator without harming the batteries?

Keep in mind too, that the cost of the conversion you want, with a couple of extra batteries and an upgraded inverter, as well as the fridge, may not cost much more than the cost of a replacement Norcold...so it may be worth it to you to do it.:)
If and when our fridge craps out again, we'll be making the conversion too! Most of the time, we're plugged in, and only boondock, on the trip itself, so we can deal with cutting off the fridge for a few hours at a time, if we notice a battery drain.
If you dry camp a lot, you may want to rethink it.
Good Luck:)
