everyone here's the question how long is the battery going to last to run the fridge due to a power outage or traveling from home to a destination any input?

When you're traveling, it doesn't matter. The RV batteries are being charged by the truck's alternator (assuming you have a Pollak-type 7-pin umbilical). Our residential fridge is powered by a 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter through a transfer switch when we're on the road.

Our new MS on order has a 1,000watt inverter specd for the frig use only is that enough?
Two 6V batteries also.
That is exactly what we have and it has worked perfectly for 3 full seasons for us. We generally spend about 3 months a year in ours. We have averaged about 7K miles for each of those years. The inverter is a pure sine wave which I think is better for the refrigerator. We have a Samsung RF197 French door fridge with an ice maker. Also, we have an automatic transfer switch which automatically switches the fridge to the inverter when we unplug from shore power and vice versa. A nice feature if you can get it.
