Doesn't your fridge work with propane?
It should run for 2 to 3 weeks on a single house battery and full propane tank without ever needing a generator.
Using a generator simply to run your motorhome evaporative refrigerator with 110 v AC would be the last resort and most expensive option, (next to installing a solar panel system, inverter, and additional batteries to accomplish the same thing).
I have seen a few evaporative refrigerator control circuit boards get fried when used extensively with a generator. Probably due to voltage spikes when the A/C units cycle.
