This seems a little harsh. But I would think a investment in some solar is in order. Solar is fun and pretty cheap now. One of the great things about solar is it is working anytime the sun is shining keeping your batteries topped off. This gives your expensive batteries a nice long life. With solar you can definitely boondock. But if you want ac you will need a generator.

I have 400W of solar panels installed but not wired up yet. On my project list. And I have a 1500W inverter, I don't know if that would run a residential fridge, at least not for long.
I read another thread like this, installing solar to run a residential thread and someone finally pointed out that you could get rid of that fridge, buy a propane/electric fridge and pay considerably less than installing a big solar system with a big inverter, expensive controller, big battery bank and lots of panels.
