If you want to mount a meter away from the batteries then one with an external shunt is better like David recommended - his link DOES work.

Although the fridge in question is connected directly to the 12 VDC buss, (no connection to SP or Generator), it does have a single purpose internal inverter used to run the motor(s) which are 3 phase. Modern DC motors are actually 3 phase AC motors controlled by a DC powered Electronic Speed Controller; which is simply a 3 phase inverter.

If I do upgrades will first meter work? I can’t get Davids to link, blank page, could be operator error…

Now I am confused again on fridge. So it DOES have internal inverter? Best question for me to be clear is if I have NO house battery connected but I am hooked into shore power or genie running Will fridge work?��
