Traveling with residential fridge

We will hopefully be taking delivery of our new Class A motorhome in the next couple of weeks. The motorhome has a residential fridge. I am assuming that the inverter will keep the fridge running while we our underway? I am also assuming that while underway the coach batteries will be getting charged. Having said that, assumptions can get you in trouble! Since we live in Florida, most of the time we will probably be running the generator to run at lease one of the AC units while underway but I was wondering if we would be OK running the fridge on an all day drive without running the gen.

Ours still has the RV fridge and a real power hog. We run it on the inverter, underway, as we did with our old gas coach and with it just having two 6v batteries. It's also on invert for short periods with engine off, but will switch over to gas, when without power for the night. With a residential, our 4 12v house batteries should supply it adequately. Then again it depends on what else you might be doing with the power when sitting still.
