The ref. will NOT draw 10 or 15 amps on 120v ac. More like 2 or 3. I would leave it on 120v AC or go to propane if you want.
12v doesn't work that well and will only make your power problem worse. It gets it's 12v from the converter which draws 120v AC to make the 12v DC. It's not 100% efficient (nothing is) so running the ref. on 12v DC while plugged into shore power will actually use more electricity than having it on 120v AC.
2 or 3 AMPS....NOT
When I first aquired my Pace Arrow I could not figure out why my inverter sucked the batteries down in under 45 minutes....
Found that one of the outlets on the inverter was connected to the fridge. I know from experience that when the fridge is on the inverter is drains the batteries QUICK.
I'll have to check the draw and get back to this post.
My Suggestion, Inverter for a few lights, NOT the fridge, leave it on gas.
