We have had a Winnebago View class C for about 5 years, and a 5er for the decade before. We think at times of a larger class A for part timing in retirement. Many have commercial refrigerators. How do...

Our Class A came with a very large residential fridge/freezer. It's wonderful! Cools quickly, is very quiet, has a ton of capacity, and self defrosts, unlike my previous RV with an absorption style fridge. Even makes ice.
This rig also came with a Xantrex 1800W inverter, and 4 house batteries. That will keep it operating for a day without shore power, running the engine, or the generator.
If we are planning on dry camping for an extended period, I'll bring the Engel MR040F-U1 40 Qt AC/DC Portable Tri-Voltage Fridge/Freezer.

It sips power, and will run a very long time from a 12V battery bank. It can be used as a fridge, freezer, or deep freezer, depending on how cold the thermostat is set.
The only upgrade I've done to our is to build an external digital thermostat. The stock analog dial gives no indication of what temperature "#3" setting represents!

The Engel doubles as an emergency fridge during extended power outages at our house in hurricane prone Florida. It got some use last year!
