We go to the site every weekend. Propane is cheap (get it filled for no charge through my work) but the thing is is that it takes quite a while for the fridge to cool off enough to throw in the groceries, ice, beer, etc. This way, we can also leave a few more things in the fridge while we are away rather than packing everything up. Being able to pull up to our site, throw the food in the nice cold fridge, grab a cold beer...just one less thing to mess with especially with 3 kids running around too.
Guess I should mention our site does not have electricity...or I would, of course, just run on power.
Forgot to mention that I am also considering 2 other options: adding another 12V battery (only downside is the extra weight as my trailer is heavy as it is) or switching over to dual 6v batteries (my father-in-law picked up 2 like new 6v batteries for $80 for the pair). Are there any downsides (beside extra weight) of switching to dual 6v batteries?
