Although it would probably be fine going from site to site just leaving the fridge closed with no power, my DW isn't comfortable with that approach so I think I'll go with the easiest method of getting power to it which is just putting a PSW 1000 watt inverter in the cap by the batteries, then run an extension cord underneath (drop the coroplast), and pop it up into the lower outside fridge panel where the fridge is plugged in. Then before we hit the road it would be a matter of opening the panel, switching the fridge to the extension cord, closing said panel, then opening front panel, turn on converter, close front panel. I know I could get an automatic inverter, but that would require significantly more wiring, plus automatic inverters constantly draw battery power.

I ordered some black child proof latches to keep the residential fridge closed when traveling with it (it's a 9.9 cf Magic Chef Vissani fridge)
