OP, the advice on the fridge is spot on they are power hogs. I'm running with lithium and do what you want to do of running the fridge during the day on solar and switch to lp at night but with the lithiums being topped off isn't an issue like fla/ agm batteries. It takes alot of solar to feed the fridge/ misc and charge the batteries.
As for the inverter leaving on all the time I do that also and it can consume a small amount of power to just be on during the night, mine (magnum 3000w) uses roughly 2ah while you sleep.
