Running fridge Norcold N611 off inverter?

Not answering your question, but ... where are your batteries?

We have a 24 foot Itasca and it's two batteries are stored under the step where you enter the coach. Although it came stock with two Group 24 batteries, the battery bracket under the step is long enough to hold up to two Group 31 batteries. I have had two Group 29 batteries in this area for years.

I'm curious as to why Winnebago's Minnie models don't have about the same battery compartment arrangement as is in our Itasca?

Another refrigerator issue - our Norcold N611 has always acted strange in this way: I have a small 650 watt Honda generator for quiet battery charging and emergency power. For emergency powering of the N611 if the propane system should ever let us down, I thought this little Honda would be just the ticket. However, apparently the N611's controller circuit does not like the 120V AC power coming from the little Honda. When in the "Auto" position and using the Honda, the N611's controller will not switch to AC power - it keeps the refrigerator on propane power. The N611 will of course switch to AC when we're on shore power or when we're on built-in Onan generator power - but will not switch with the 650 watt Honda generator powering the motorhome. Any ideas what's going on here? I can't believe that the waveform from the little non-inverter Honda generator is that bad!
