Thinking about a Truck Fridge.
I found a 4.4 cu ft model real close to the dimensions of my gas fridge. The specs say 24 watts per hour. That is 2 amps per hour? If so that is right in the ball park with my Engel 45 which used...

Hmmm, well the energy density of propane is about 30 times that of a lead acid battery, so even if the junk gas refrigerators (which by the way have no moving parts and make no noise) are 5 times less efficient than a 12V DC fridge, they will still run 6 times longer than a 12V fridge for the same volume of power source.
Sunshine and solar would make the difference though.
Hard choices...pay $$$ for a efficient 12V electric fridge that makes noise and may fail in a few years or pay $$ for a propane fridge that makes no noise and probably will fail in a few years also.
