The Xantrex 1000-watt XPower Inverter wasn't up to the task of starting the Fridge. Even though it had 2000 watts of surge capacity, I still had an overload situation.
Finally the cold of winter let up this past weekend and I was able to complete my installation.
As was suggested, I installed the inverter much closer to the batteries using a short length of 2-gauge wiring.
Success!:)

I stalled a relay so that the fridge automatically switches over to the shore power when I am hooked up.
