inverter + vintage Marvel fridge?

I have an old/renovated Silver Streak Clipper.

Anyone try to use batteries + inverter charger to run a vintage Marvel refrigerator? My electrician fried 3 inverters trying to do this. Turns out the Marvel has a 2 prong plug and the whole trailer is hot. Any work arounds? Ideas?

Thanks

My idea is a propane fridge.
They are the best.
Run forever on a small propane tank which is stock on your trailer right?

id really love that, but for the time being want to keep my Marvel fridge. My trailer is 90% all original and a very clean example.
