I don't understand your reference to AC/Dc for fridge. A lithium battery is not going to solve your problems, it's still just a 100ah battery from which you can draw a bit more power than an acid.
There are 3 or 4 types of AC/DC fridges
ONE: Original type: Absorption cooling unit
This is the "Standard" propane is an option RV Fridge without the propane options. Nothing fancy sucks over 300 watts when cooling takes a LOT of 12 volt power
Residential fridge with Inverter Sucks 100-200 watts running
High effiency what I call "Danfoss" class (Danfoss is ONE of the companies that makes the compressor. not sure the real class name) Draw about 30-45 watts running door closed (Opening door adds 20 watts for the light)
Both Norcold and Dometic made "RV SIZE" fridges of this type. IF uou do not want to go Propane. that's what I suggest doing. IF you are good with propane.. So am I.
