Man that is a nice set-up you have with the panels, for budgetary reasons, I may not end up with panels.
I'm surprised the ice machine and reefer both worked with the inverter, and amazed that the A/C worked with it.
Ice machine pulls about 6.5 Amps (715 Watts) when running and the refrigerator is about 2 AMP (220 Watts). If you are on the road, most trucks will send up to 30Amps at 13.5 Volts (13.5 X 30 = 405 Watts), so you could run the refrigerator off the inverter without a problem.


I didn't know what the ice machine pulled, would have thought it more, the starting amps usually is the killer, it can be up to 7 times running amps
