Depends on consumption of the fridge, amount of your battery bank and efficiency of your sine wave generator. Very difficult without some serious calculations. I would use yearly fridge current ratings divided by 365. Amount of your battery bank amp/hours divided by 2 so not to draw the batteries down more than 50%. That will get you pretty close to amount of time. Just keep in mind if you do draw your batter bank down more than 50% it will shorten the life of your batteries. JMHO.

All that said, if I were going to go to a residential fridge I would would install solar panels.

Yah that kind of nailed it. Give us a little info. How many batteries, what size and year of fridge, sine wave or modified sine wave inverter. Do you have solar panels, if so how may and what size etc etc etc. A very common upgrade that many of us have done so you are asking in the right place but you need to give us specifics.

If you keep the doors closed you can tow all day without much on a temp rise in the frig.
