I actually prefer to run the fridge off of the inverter and use the 120v element if I am driving and stopping for short periods where it is not worth it to put it on propane. It doesn't draw much more than running it directly off the 12v element. running on 120 via inverter also gives me the thermostatic control that 12v doesn't have, and the inverter will shut down if battery voltage drops too low. On 12v it will just suck the battery down to 0v.
