- Road_RunnersExplorerI am just taking a guess, but I would say that your RV refrigerator would not be a candidate for running on a device that converts 12 volt DC to 120v AC. Your refrigerator uses resistive heating to turn liquid ammonia to a gas. The current draw would too high. It would exceed your batteries capability.
- IvylogExplorer IIIMost everyone run them on propane while traveling.
- Chris_BryantExplorer II600 watts would do it. I believe they draw 450 watts.

- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIIt is a 4 door 12 cu. ft. 120V/propane fridge.
Uses two (2) 120V AC heating elements..........225W ea. (450W total)
So a 600W inverter would power it for AC use if Ice Maker is turned OFF (It draws almost 200W total) - Canadian_RainbiExplorerWe have run ours with our Xatrex Prosine 2.0 (2 KW pure sinewave) without trouble except that the 420 Watts (nominal) of solar panels don't keep up with it. A 450 Watt load at say 13.8 volts is a 32.6 Amp draw. It takes a lot from your battery. Depends a lot on what you can get from the vehicle alternator.
