A 500W inverter would probably have trouble starting the compressor in the dorm fridge. Running it once started would not be a problem. The compressor might not like MSW power any too well.
CONCUR on both statements.
I know there is a BIG price difference, but you would be much better off with a 750W-1000W pure sine wave inverter.
Also, those mini-frdges have notoriously poor insulation.
Thank you both for confirming what I was thinking. Previous TT had a xantrex 1200 pure sine wave and it work flawlessly for the 18 months we used it with 2 12v hybrids on a few long drives and campground power outages a couple of times. Price will be more but it would be good long term investment
