We will be picking up our new to us toy hauler next week. It has a 23 CF residential refrigerator and an 80 amp converter. For the 1-2 times a year that I do not have shore power, Would my 2200 genera...

My 400 amp hours of deka agm batteries can pull 70 amps startup charge even 80% SOC, the max my converter puts out,
80 amps at 14v is 1120 Watts converter output z Not input load on generator
A 0.7 power factor means generator output is 1600 Watts
My 2000 champion inverter had a measured load of over 1400 Watts at 70 amp charge
Now include the fridge compressor startup surge of 1000 Watts or more and the 2000 generator does an over load condition
If fridge is running and doesn't cycle the 2000 will be with in specs
The 3100 or Onan are better choices
The startup surge on my residential fridge was 900+ Watts observeable with 90 to 100watt run,
My measuring device's are not fast enough to get the full true inrush load,
