AnEv942 - nice install there.
DWeikert - The vent is definitely closed - we do use that though to keep the door slightly open and ventilated when not using the camper. I suspect the 110 litre fridges are a little more efficient than the 140 litre ones too.
JimK-NY - That 190 litre 2-door fridge does look like a really poor choice on a touring trailer for use in the outback, and with a tiny solar panel. We have 160w and on a sunny day it does power our 140 litre fridge with no problem (draws 6 amps when running :(), but we tend to be driving most days too so the alternator is also topping up the battery. If I intended to be parked up for more than a couple of days I would definitely want either an absorption fridge or a 40 litre Engel. I've had very good experience with the latter - very efficient. You are also right about the wiring. I had to install good thick wire and a very direct wire run to the battery to ensure it didn't suffer from voltage drop when firing up its capacitor, which otherwise results in it shutting down completely (with no error lights).
