12 volt Refrigerator

Starting with only two 100a/h batteries (assuming wet cells), only gives you 100a/h usable for all your needs…Solar might augment, but with only two 64w panels, even the best harvest might only result in about 6.5 amps, then add to that the refer door seemed to be opening occasionally (ugg!!), and I think you were hitting the ‘sweet spot’ for failure… In this case I would have definitely gone with LPG, and I believe your trusty vendors were chock full of optimistic advice…This is why (per my previous…) having a substantial battery and solar set-up is critical, particularly the battery - this is why I said 400a/h Lithium, due to Li’s deeper depth of discharge, and the vagaries of solar to carry you over to the ‘next productive’ harvest cycle…And with a decent amount of solar, a few amps of harvest is often possible even with full cloud cover…While on the Oregon coast (with 660w solar) I was recently able to get about 6-7amps with full cloud cover and even a small amount of drizzle, admittedly not a whole lot but still enough over a time to ‘increase’ my 400a/h Lithium by a welcome 8% SOC…

I have a pal that has a 9 cu/ft (Danfoss comp) double door refer that runs fine with only two 100a/hr of Lithium and 400w MPPT solar (recently upgraded to 800w - fine for Nevada), and know of another fella that has a 7 cu/ft compressor refer (don’t recall the make), 460a/hr lithium and 400w of solar with no issues…So to achieve true LPG liberty, expect the devil is in the details ($$)…
