    The inverter will definitely run a fridge. The smallest microwaves are 500w I believe, both under $100 each. I noticed a while back, seems a lot of company trucks have a 1800w inverter. Little fridge draws hardly anything. One way to find out.

    12v fridge designed for your truck ~$800
    Walmart compact 120v fridge ~$90
    I don't think I need to tell you which ones I bought.

    And they worked just fine; lasted 1-3 years (could still be working... went with the truck).

    However, I will second a Koolatron cooler. We've had one for ~20 years, still works, but it has only ever been used for occasional road trips, not constantly.
