Thanks, I didn't need your incorrect correction. My statement was clear and correct. I have had a residential fridge in my RV's since 1999. Yes, I have an inverter and some large batteries but no solar. The engine alternator keeps the batteries charged while driving so no issues there. When I dry camp I have to run my generator a few hours per day but I am going to do that anyway for cooking and assorted morning and evening activities. If I chose to dry camp a lot, solar would solve that but very few are off the grid for extended periods of time.
Thanks for the clarification. Which I gave consideration to, as it was. With enough battery capacity and the right inverter, you are making it work to your satisfaction.
But not an unqualified one size fits all solution as you first alluded to.
