Running Power To A Residential Refrigerator In An RV
Question:
Replaced my RV frig with a Residential model. Attempted to use two different inverters only to determine my frig will trip a GFCI outlet or if hard wired trip the internal GFCI circuitry. Need a minimum 1000W 12V to 120V inverter, prefer hard wired with no GFCI circuitry. Please advise any recommendations.

I have a solution for you.
The minimum you are going to need is a Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter - 1,000 Watts - 12V # 34280176 paired with a SoftStartRV Soft Start for RV AC Units - Qty 1 # SSR54FR. This however is the lowest power level to use and it may still struggle.
I recommend using the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Transfer Switch - 1,500 Watt - 12V # 34279458. This will give you enough power to run the fridge.
This exceeds the 1000w minimum you mentioned, but if you can give me the specifics on your fridge I would be happy to make sure this will be enough.
