Such a Shame 12v compressor fridges are so expensive.
I know one guy who bought a sub 3 cubic foot dorm fridge to run on his single 27 battery and his 750 watt inverter.
The fridge wouldn't start. So he got a 1000 watt inverter, it wouldn't start.
Got a 1250 watt inverter and this would start the fridge.
He loaded it with beer, went to an event, and the first night was awoken at 3:30 AM by the low voltage alarm of the inverter.
I think he returned the 1200 watt inverter, went back to a cooler and ice and used the dorm fridge in his garage.
