Run Norcold off inverter long-term?

Hi,

I've got 4 x T125's in a balanced wiring setup with 300 watts of solar. I'm looking to pick up a Xantrex prosine 1000 W inverter, and I was wondering about the viability of running the fridge (a Norcold, not sure what model, don't have the manual in front of me, but it's pretty standard, fridge on bottom, freezer on top, 2 way) off the inverter. We have the trailer parked on a site for May, it gets pretty good sun, and I'd like to set the fridge to auto during the week when we are not there. Any issue with that? I'm guessing it probably draws 10-15 amps per day?
On a side not, what is the optimal wiring for the inverter? I'll have it set up about 4 feet from the batteries on 4 gauge cables, does it matter to which set of terminals I should hook it up to? I was thinking the same ones as the converter.

Thanks!

LOL - that's my own thread, I guess I forgot I asked the exact same question last year. I'm constantly amazed at how dense the wood block sitting on my shoulders is! Sorry!
