Hello,
I have spent a bit of time looking round the forum for advice relevant to 'Fridges' and 'Inverters' but thought it was just easier to post about our specific problem!
We bought our new boat last August and it came with a 79w mains fridge. The previous owners had it in a boat yard hooked up to mains.
We however continuous cruise most of the summer.
Over winter we just did without a fridge and didn't really miss it but as you can imagine these hot sunny days have been tricky with no refrigeration!
I think we have decided as the fridge is fitted already in the kitchen it wouldn't make sense to take it out and replace with a 12V Fridge. Therefore what inverter is recommended? I have been looking at these two at Midland Chandlery:

They are pretty expensive and I just wanted some advice before parting with the cash! I can see from previous threads its not necessarily a straightforward topic.
We have three 12v leisure batteries ( they are hooked up to a 50w panel that trickle charges them)
Also on our old boat we tended to have the fridge on only when cruising and turned it off over night and would be happy to do the same with this one so it would be a fridge some of the time and a cool box the rest.
Cheers in advance.
