A good power supply will flatten momentary spikes or even momentary losses of power. It looks like a regular power strip but is thicker and heavier due to extra transistors and whatnot inside. Even better, you can get a thing called a battery backup, which will look and feel like an extra heavy powerstrip, like several pounds, that can power the fridge for like a few minutes during power loss.Jarhed1964 Thanks this.

I usually cut my inverter off at nights so how will a back up help me when I cut the inverter back on after I start the truck up?

I bought a dorm fridge, worked great for several years. Put the truck in shop. Mechanic raised front of truck several feet in air. As a result refrigerator did not work. Has to be kept level.

I use a cheap Alpicool off Amazon. It's a cooler but has an actual compressor. It's been doing fine for over 3 years and it gets beat up pretty bad. Was only like 250 or something when I bought it.
