Well nothing scientific here just actual real world results but after using it this summer while dry camping in Colorado at fairly high altitude (9,000 feet) and fairly cool weather 75 during day and fifties at nite my Refrigerator ran fine off the inverter for 10-12 hours each nite and into the afternoon on 2 Duracell Group 31 AGM’ and still showed 50% battery on the gauge on the control panel.

You might want to think about getting a quality battery monitor to see what 50% really is.
Our Solitude is sitting in the driveway, as we get ready to go full-time and the residential refrigerator has been on since we got back from the Oregon Coast. The last 5 days the Victron monitor has said either 79 or 80% in the morning as the sun is coming up (solar charged). We have 4 100A lithium batteries, so pretty much just the frig is using 80AH's over night (daylight to dark).

On our 310GK/R it is located on a deck in the basement area right behind the electrical panel, accessible from the basement behind the storage area. To the OP in answer to your question, if I recall correctly our residential fridge uses about 12-amps, but keep in mind that is true when running straight off ac current, when an inverter is involved, as with dry camping, there is a factor roughly of 10 increase in amp draw. We do a fair amount of boon docking, with no issues, though we have a large battery bank.
