We changed out our gas fridge for a residential unit last Fall and absolutely love it. We only have four 6 volt house batteries and don't have any trouble dry camping. I added a separate 600 watt PSW inverter just to run the new fridge, this way we can shut down our main inverter and still run the fridge. That cuts our power consumption quite a bit overnight. We do have 375 watts of solar and that helps a lot. We need the generator about 1-2 hours a day, depending on how much TV we watch at night.
Go for the residential unit, add some batteries and at least 400 watts of solar or more if you don't want to run a generator.
