Am I missing something, or do these little inverters not work as 12v chargers?
What you're "missing" is that the so-called 12 vdc charging port on your genset is
unregulated, meaning there is
no control over how much or how little it's charging the batteries and given enough time can easily damage the batteries. Instead plug your rig into the genset's 120 vac output and let it's converter do the charging ... if this trips the genset then turn the fridge off, if it still trips and you have no other significant loads on then the genset is simply too small for the task. You might try charging just two of your 6 volts at a time - one bank, then the other - otherwise the solution is a larger 2000 watt genset.
