Running and maintaining Dometic

So I just purchased a domestic refrigerator. My question is can I adequately run it with my lighter plug in or My 115 V 100 Watt max AC plug-in in the centre consul?
I am also wondering if I can use that same plug-in in the centre consul with a Noco genius 10 battery maintainer to charge a Group 27 deep cell AGM battery while driving.
Please help. Thanks Aaron Dusseault.

It's way more efficient to run off of 12V. Due to the small gauge wiring used for the 12V outlet, you can run the fridge from there, but be aware there will be considerable voltage drop, and the fridge low voltage detection will trip, etc.
You really want to run a dedicated line for the fridge, most will suggest 10 gauge - this is what the ARB kit comes with. Same with charging the AGM, a direct line would be best.

Your best bet is to add some circuits with a fuse block, like Blue Sea, and run some wires.

I initially just had a 6 circuit block but then decided to add solar.

I have the main battery going to 2 breakers under the hood, 100a & 50a. The 100a feeds a 12 circuit fuse block under the hood, 50a feeds a 6 circuit block in the cargo via 4 gauge welding wire. From the rear block, I ran 10 gauge over to the factory 12v outlet, which is now always on, unless I trip the breaker. I also have a 150w panel on the roof and the controller is in the cargo area, tied into the rear block to facilitate battery charging. Since setting it up, I've been able to run the fridge non-stop without the main battery dipping below 12.7v. Main battery is Northstar AGM 27F.

That might be a bit overkill for you, but at the very least, you want to add some circuits and run some wire.
