The typical 100 amp alternator will burn out in as little as 20

alternator stators if you want to know why!!!!

Like I said, you have to know what you're doing.
You never pull 100 amps.
Typical fridge pulls 3 amps running the compressor.
That's 33 12v amps, assuming 120v AC, but only when running the
compressor.
Throw in some amps for lights, you're still ok.
It's a viable emergency power source for some folks.
Plenty of examples of people who do it.
