Hey Robert,

For your fridge/freezer combo you are going to want an inverter with a continuous rating of around 500 watts, and a surge capacity higher than that. For that I recommend the Go Power Inverter # 34279948. This gives you more than enough watts to run your fridge, and gives you extra in case you ever wanted to upgrade down the road. RV refrigerators are usually recommended to be used with a 1,000 watt inverter.

What kind of RV are you wanting to put this in?

We’re putting a small household refrigerator in place of the RV refrigerator. The replacement is a Avanti model # Ff10BOW 08172016. Hope this helps

@RobertG I took a look at that model and the inverter I mentioned is going to work well with that. It is rated for enough wattage and amperage to run that fridge.
