outdoor kitchen fridge question

I have a kystone passport 2920bh with the outdoor kitchen and mini fridge. The fridge unfortunatly does not run off propane. We like to bookdock alot, and i was thinking of hooking a 1000 watt inverter to the batteries (dual set up) to run it and have cold drinks when we have no power. My questions are ....

- Will the 1000 watt inverter be enough to run it ( i will fuse and add a switch to the line, and it will run off the dual batteries).

- Also about how much life will I get out of the batteries with it running off the inverter before I have to charge batteries.

Any other solutions also? Thanks

    I ran my dorm fridge off a 1000w inverter with no issues. However it was only when traveling, and the truck was always charging the trailer battery (1). If you have 2 and a good way to charge them then I don’t see an issue. Once the fridge is cold it will only run to maintain the temp.

    I replaced the fridge in my 5er with an apartment size fridge.

    I have a Xantrex 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter and two GC2 batteries in series.

    With a full charge on the batteries, I get 1-2 days depending on conditions.

    When we camp w/o electric I remove the fridge & put a cooler on its place.
