Yes, you can. There are some minor drawbacks.....
Most small reefers sue the sides as the condenser (cooler - where heat goes out), so that has to be in clear space.
If you are going to travel more than a few hours, you will need a 500+ watt inverter to start the compressor.
The electric power demand is too high to effectively boondock or dry camp.
When the original reefer in our coach decided to stop working, I looked at my alternatives. Replacing it in kind was simply not possible as we had recently had decades of personal investment for retirement "redistributed".
The cheep reefer and inverter got us back on the road at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
