I like to go dry camping for a weekend or up to 4 days. I have 2 deep cycle golf cart batteries, no solar, and no generator. I love my gas fridge because I never have to worry about power.
That being said I have a good fridge with the temperature control on the eyebrow (front panel) . My brother has a new 5th wheel and it came with one of those gas fridges with no temperature control at all. You are just suppose to slide the thermister that is attached to the fins on the back of the fridge up and down to control the temp. His fridge doesn't work very well and will not keep things cold. He wishes that he had a residential.
So it depends on the type of camping you do and how good of fridge you have.
