Run the fridge on propane if it is a two way fridge. It won't use much propane.
Obviously when the OP is dry camping he is running his 2-way fridge on propane as he has no other choice anyway ... and as a DSI fridge it still needs 12 vdc from the battery to operate. :S
yup the fridge will need around 1A to operate on propane. And when the exhaust fan kicks in and out that will up it by 0.25A or less.
that's assuming that if there is a heat strip for moisture control that is turned OFF.
