If you are going to be boondock/dry camping a lot, with the larger electrical requirements in modern RV's, whether you have a compressor or absorption fridge, you will need good batteries, inverter, solar(this impacts genny run time) and a generator.
With a compressor fridge, you plan from the beginning, not everyday before going camping, what you think your extra electrical requirements will be(over an absorption fridge).
From experience in our case, an extra 2 batteries and 200W of solar were sufficient.
98% dry/boondock camping 2011-16 with a compressor fridge, 3 times genny use, all power coming from alternator/solar.
