While conventional 6 cu ft and larger fridge / freezers designed for RV use do require 12 vdc to power the fridge electronics, fire the ignitor, and allow the gas valve to operate smaller manual light fridges require no electricity at all to operate. That said, if your requirement dictates a larger DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) fridge then powering the fridge with a pair of 6 volt GC-2 batteries that are recharged with a suitably sized solar system is likely your best solution. Hopefully you realize just how expensive these gas absorption fridges are here in Canada, $2500 Cdn not being uncommon at all. Add to that the cost of batteries & solar and you'll be in for a substantial investment just to keep some food cold. :E
