Inverter for Whynter mini freezer

What inverter would you recommend to run a Whynter 2.1 cu ft mini freezer while towing?

Model # CUF-210ssa

https://www.amazon.com/Whynter-CUF-210SS-Energy-Upright-Freezer/dp/B00G23MKL6

Input Power 75W
Rated Current 0.88A

We have 2 12v batteries in our 5th wheel and keep the freezer in the basement bay.

I would go the 300 as I cannot find the starting draw of this item. The running watts appears to be 75W. So the starting wattage would be at least double at 150W but 1t would worry me if I installed a 150w inverter so I would oversize it.

Start surge could be close to 10x rated power. I would not go with less than 750w surge rating.

GoPower sine wave 600w rated 860w surge $340

This size inverter needs to be wired direct to the battery with short fat wire.
