I am in the same boat as the others who installed a 12 volt fridge. Yes for me it is the best mod I have ever done and I will never have another propane fridge. I put in a nova kool which slid into the same opening. Nova Kool as well as others make them to fit virtually any existing rv opening. I have 200 watts solar and two 115 amp hour batteries. Yes the truck will supply the power for the fridge no problem. 5 amps at 12 volts so 60 watts but it only draws that power during duty cycle. So lets say 2.5 amps at 12 volts constant. Never have to level and the fridge is ice cold in a hour or two and remains that way when its over a hundred degrees no problem. If you plug in at night then of course power is no issue.
With solar and my fridge and extra battery I did spend in the range of $2300. But definitely worth every penny. I also installed the solar and fridge myself. But really a very easy project. JMHO
