Our inverter is necessary for the residential fridge, so it's the first time I have had one. It has plenty of advantages, as I have 110V for TV, vacuum, microwave, etc and I don't have to start the generator each time.
However, its a 2800 Watt and 6 31 series AGMs that take a lot of space. Not saying you would need one that large if you have a gas fridge, but still it would be a chore to retrofit one with enough capacity to be useful.
No matter what the fridge type, I like running it on electric, when going down the road, so installed my own 1KW in our old rig, running on two batteries.
With our present coach, it came with a whole house 2KW with pass through outlets, so very convenient and if a nice day that doesn't require roof air, then it makes it nice for running the drink maker and MW, while going down the road as well.
Story short, it's a little like the old days argument of should we get a tv or just stick with our radio. Then is was color vs a b & w tv, then the garage door opener.....etc...etc...
