The NovaKool unit that the OP is looking at draws 4.4 A when cycling.That is 5 to 7 times less 12V power and double the size than your residential unit. Remember, these compressor fridges are much more efficient than the unit you were using and of course much more expensive. During 95F day, 65f night, the most electricity we used in a day was around 75AH.Your daily draw even using the lower number of 20A is around 500AH/day. Either your numbers are off or that fridge should be used for a boat anchor.

These were run-of-the-mill compressor fridges you can purchase at any big box store. Certainly didn't profess otherwise. No doubt there are more efficient options available---especially if you're willing to pay for it.
That's a given for just about any appliance. Was that your point?
