Hi Pirate,
If you plan on swapping out to a residential fridge the inverter needs to be much larger than would be required to run the Norcold on 120 volt. It would be good to have pure sine wave, too.
A 1000 watt inverter may be adequate for a residential fridge.
I do run my Dometic on an inverter @ 120 volts. It draws 34 amps from the battery bank.
