So I am looking at this summit fridge.

My boat is not a power hungry boat. I have one set of 2 12v batteries that run the start and house. No solar (yet), no on board generator, we do have a Yamaha inverter generator 1000 watt.
My goal is to run this fridge while underway and at anchor.
If I powered an inverter from my current batteries would my alternator keep my batteries charged enough to keep the fridge running while underway?
What would you recommend for at anchor? I'm thinking a seperate house bank dedicated to powering the inverter for a fridge and outlet for electronics charging.
How much battery would I need to run say 24 hrs, what should I look for in an inverter with out busting the bank$$.
Currently we just have 110 old dorm fridge that we only run on shore power. Schlepping the coolers around is getting old and is one of the things my girlfriend requested we address this year and I agree.
Hope I explained my wants and needs clearly.
Thanks.
