Residential Fridges

Residental fridge compressors are terribly inefficient and pull a lot of amps.

I don't see how any inverter and battery bank would keep up in transit, the tow vehicle don't deliver that many amps to the RV in the first place.

Our 15 cu ft kitchen refrigerator draws close to an even amp when running. That would be about 10 amps to power an inverter. I think a power connection would have to be pretty lame to not supply that much, and I'd hope a smaller fridge in a trailer would need less power. (Based on the energy info for a 10.1 cu ft fridge on the Home Depot site, the inverter would pull about 8 amps when the fridge is running).
