What will happen if I try to start the fridge off the genny?
I am guessing the generator will simply stall, with no harm to either. *Is
that right?
Now for the really foolish question... *Any way to start the fridge off the

stall or trip breaker, in a very marginal operation it might harm the
fridge by continious running undervolt.
wh not get a bigger generator or apartment sized fridge or inverther
and run fridge off your vehicles battery with car running.
