You would be much better off with a propane refrigerator.
That is debatable ! You could be in big trouble if you run out of propane and there is no refill station nearby.
With adequate solar and batteries a 12V compressor refrigerator is far superior to any propane evaporative refrigerator, especially when the outside temps are in the 80s or above.
I certainly would have a generator, even a 2000W portable. Also a DC-DC charger.
I think you'd really have to be asleep at the wheel if you run out of propane. With 2-7.5 gallon tanks, I've gone 30 days with no fill ups and using the water heater too. No furnace for that thirty days though. I'd be thinking in a thirty day period one should be able to come across some propane to fill the tanks.
