Inverter and fridge
Having a residential refrigerator is new to me. Should I leave the inverter on when hooked up to electrical power?

Our Magnum is an Inverter/Charger with a built-in Transfer switch. When traveling it powers the Fridge from the Batteries, but once we hook-up to shore power it automaticly sends the shore power to the fridge and it switches from Inverter mode to Battery Charger mode. So our Magnum is never shut off.
This is the way to go ! Other inverter manufacturers also offer inverter/chargers with an automatic transfer switch, but they have not caught on, probably because they cost a bit more.
Footnote : A converter/charger is no longer need (or even desired). Just connect the DC distribution/fuse panel directly to the battery bank !
