Running Dometic Refrigerator with an inverter

My Dometic Refrigerator doesn't run on gas, can I run it off an inverter while traveling? How many watts will I need to run it?

    Hi,

    Yes, but it would be best to upgrade the charging path from the alternator. Otherwise you may arrive with low batteries.

    The duty cycle for the fridge is around 2:3 (40 minutes on every hour).
