For those of us that boondock from time to time and some more than others, the residential frig may be more of problem to deal with that what it is worth. You might count on about 100Ah DC use in a 24 hour period. Perhaps even 120Ah. So one would need enough charging capacity to to keep up probably 6 6V golf cart batteries.
If you go from one rv park to another rv park, there probably will not be a problem. I would not worry about the inverter as a fire hazard anymore than anything else in the rv that might start a fire.
The folks that have the residential frigs here in the park that I have spoke with, tell me they go from park to park with out any problem.
For me, the regular old electric/gas frig will be our choice. Because we do like to go places off the grid and I don't want to have to run a generator to make up for Ah loss, especially if I have a few days of clouds. The residential frig will work just fine for most of the folks going from park to park.
