Also with that monitor you have to run the negative battery cable back and forth to wherever you mount the display.

Here is a more comprehensive battery monitor that I have used that is easy to install: the 500A shunt mounts near the negative battery terminal then a cable carrying the shunt voltage and the + and - power wires goes to the remote indicator.

Dunno, much of this is above my pay grade.
That said, OP doesn’t have a 120V residential fridge, nor does he have a 120V/propane absorption fridge.

He’s got a new efficient 12V fridge.

Amp Draw: 12V/DC
Standard Mode - 8.3
Night mode - 6.2

Not sure what the numbers mean, but it’s much more efficient than running an inverter and powering a 120V compressor
