Gasser, 2 6V coach batteries. Propane 2-way fridge is my vote. Keeps things going for at least a week. Mine does NOT run the microwave...simply the fridge and lights. The TV is not used...(would need the INverter)keep in mind the Inverter will use up the coach batteries in a matter of hours...so in my case, not a good idea. I keep the inverter off. Don't think I've ever used it for anything.
I would NOT get a 3-way fridge. Again...the power draw on the battery or batteries would severely limit the time of use. 2 way..again is, IMO the way to go.
Duel fueled WH? Sure. When dry camping or hooked up to 30 AMP, I never use the electric part of it. Always the propane. 50 AMP? Electric. Tankless? Don't know much about them, except a friend has a brand new 5th...and cannot get it to work. Going back to their dealer this week. Stick to what is KNOWN to work. "New" (tech) doesn't mean "better".
Whatever your choice, g'luck!
