Gdetrailer,
Wouldn't that fridge draw about 240w/2a? I realize there is a large load at start up, but wouldn't a 500w (continuous) inverter be sufficient, as opposed to 1200w? (I run a 700w microwave, with an 1100w+ draw, off a 1000w inverter)
It will actually draw about half of that but my experience with these installs is a 1000 watt sine wave inverter does a good job of handling the inrush current when the compressor starts.
