So for those of you that missed this I'm posting it again. My load assumptions are for TWO compressors!
Crosscheck has somewhat verified that the Danfoss daily power consumption graph seems to be in line.
So once again you guys have spurred me into making a call to ferret out further information on this matter. Next week I'll call Nova Kool to found out exactly which compressor models are being used in the two units I'll be using on my project.
If I have to I'll contact Danfoss as well.
I still think the 150-200 AH's are a good number to be working with.

So, just to clarify my specific situation I'm planning on a 5.8 cuft refrigerator AND a 5.8 cuft freezer for a total of 11.6 cuft.
According to the Power Consumption graph that Westend linked to if you follow along the '150 liters' line you can see 50 ah's for the refer and 150 ah's for the freezer.

We are into year 4 of camping with a 7.5cuft NovaKool fridge/freezer rated at 4.4amps running. Starting of course there is a bump in amps until quickly the compressor gets up to speed.
There are a lot of conditions that affect the length that the compressor runs in an hour.
Most of our camping experience with this fridge have been mild to very warm but not oppressively hot.
We figure anywhere from 30-65amp/hrs per day for this unit.
