Hi Mark,
You're making the right decision going with a DC compressor fridge. I only have a limited amount of experience with them, but so far I'm thrilled with mine. I have a Dometic CR110 and have been very happy with how it worked during a recent 1,700 mile trip. My new camper has a 240 watt solar power system and 220 amp hour battery system and I had more than enough power at a setting of 4.5 (1 low, 7 high). The contents were ice cold. Of course, I did a lot of driving on the trip, too, so I was able to supplement the solar charging with a 180 amp alternator. Your setup is even more capable than mine. As long as you get a fridge with a Danfoss compressor you'll be happy.
I'm going to be doing some more testing on my Dometic CR110 this week with amperage readings and total amp hours consumed per day and will post a complete review and analysis of my findings soon.
Just like Mike I also have a Dometic CR1110 compressor refrigerator that with the help of a good friend installed (2013) it in my Lance 815. I've had zero problem with this unit, during the course of time since the install I've replaced the charging wire from the truck to camper batteries to 4 gauge and have added a Interstate 4D 1300 RV/Marine battery.You may find that several manufactures of 12Vdc refrigerators use the Danfoss compressor. Here's my video link of that install.
