Our new trailer came with a Norcold 12v 8 cu ft fridge. Seems pretty nice for an entry-level trailer like ours. I’m running 2- 6v interstates with about 100 and change usable aH.
... I’ll be getting some solar this summer, bu here in the PNW we can sometimes be in the trees so we need a backup plan. When we ski there is only a few hours of direct sun (on sunny days) but it would still probably help. Also skiing, we tend to run the generator a lot anyways watching movies etc.

Get solar asap. It is great u can go 3 days on batts, but you are accelerating the damage to the batteries by not putting at least some charge on them during the day. Everytime you run the batts down they die a little. In the summer with good sun you should be able to have the batts charged back everyday. Do your power things early so you can go to bed with a full charge; charge phone or laptop in the morning so panels can resupply the batts still.
Eventually those same batts will go one day before they are dead.
