In testing, I first ran the TV which pulled ~1.5 A. Then I ran the Norcold 2118 refrigerator and according to the GoPower monitor, the Amp draw went from 1.5A to 48A!
Your new Norcold 2118 is a 2-way gas absorption fridge designed to automatically switch over to run on gas when shore power isn't available so why would you attempt to run it on an inverter? :h Specs, including current draw, are included in the specs I linked to.

I call normal for an absorption fridge. Set the fridge to propane only while using the inverter. Or is this a compressor fridge?
Actually mine draws about 30 amps so I assume yours has more features. You want to see some real amps... put the water heater on ๐
I would recommend 600+ amp hours battery for a 3000 watt inverted.

40 Amps at 12 VDC = 480 watts OR 4 Amps at 120VAC = 480 watts....could be true...
Yeah that's about right for a 120V heating element. Mine says it's 300 watts but I never checked the actual draw on it.
