Have not read all the posts, however, onboard after the last meal of the day, we shut off the fridge after the last meal for the night and limit (No) entry. It will carry over till morning gen set startup or engine start up. While we have a 1800 Watt inverter, we just have conditioned ourselves to limited use of it.

Same here at home, when a occasional power outage occurs, we limit our opening and closing of the fridge. Contents will remain cool and freezer will hold for a good day plus. (We have a 2000 Honda standby which we employ during daylight hours when the power demand on the Honda is weak) We cycle the freezers and the fridge during the day as stated.
As our mean ambient temperature is around 45 degrees F. our solution may not fit your folks in the warmer climes.
