Adding Batteries / Refer Support
I’ve got a 2011 Phoenix Cruiser 2551 and am having to replace the refrigerator. The dead one is a Vitrifrigo AC/DC compressor unit that pulls 65w. Two batteries just aren’t enough to support this rig ...

The Vitrifrigo looks like it is a decent unit. Have you considered repairing it? I had a pickup camper that had a Norcold AC/DC fridge. It consumed about 3.5 amps on 12 volt when the compressor was running. I had a 100 watt solar panel and 210 amp/hours of battery. I could barely manage on days with full sun. Had to run generator on days that were less than ideal. A residential fridge will be worse.
