Just powering the fridge and converter off a 15 amp standard duplex outlet.
12/3 is what I use, you won't have any problems with 12/3 in open air.
Powering air conditioners.. you gonna need bigger wire. (or water heater).
but converter and Fridge only (A few lights and TV do not count) 12/3 will do it.
One place I use 12/3.. I pull the plug on my converter (it is a 20 amp plug in module) and using an adapter run it, and only it on 12/3 (It only draws about 10 - 12 amps peak) then run TV and other stuff off batteries.. NO A/C or electric fridge or water heater of course, but everything ELSE works. Fridge and water heater burn Propane if needed.
