"residential compressor fridges are power hungry so all is well if you camp in a campground with adequate power available" No they are not...my energy star (21 cuft) draws less than 100 watts when running less than half the time. That's 8 amps DC measured before the inverter. My rig does not bounce down the road and their are now thousands of home refers in RVs without any problems.
Most trailers and TCs have a 12V charging line from the vehicle and I doubt the 150+ amp alternator will even notice 8 amps. Yes if you boondock often two additional batteries will solve your energy issues.
