It has a lot to do with how big the refrigerator you would get is. That aside, an inverter will work, however the amperage input to operate it is significant. You would have to evaluate your truck's charging system capabilities to be able to keep up with demand, as well as the amp hours of your batteries.

One thought, like some with propane do, is to shut it off while traveling. A cold refer should hold it's temps for several hours, if you don't open it.

And, just to clarify the battery thing, having two 6 volt golf cart batteries does NOT give you more amp hours. Your two 12 volt ones wired in parallel have more amp hours than two 6's would, wired in series for 12 volts. The advantage to the "golf cart" batteries are that they are much more able to take repeated deep discharge cycles than the 12 volt ones would, and have a longer life because of that.
