You really need to check out power consumption of the fridge. They all have a label inside. Then check out the batteries on board. Keep in mind you shouldn't take batteries down below 50%. Do the math yourself and ignore the sales pitch.
and I found on the 197 that label wasn't accurate. The Samsung draws considerably less. There is only one way to meter what any residential fridge is going to draw, and that's by plugging a Kill-O-Watt for 24hours and plotting it.
The other thing that needs attention is living habits. I have way more than enough battery and solar, BUT... Being nocternal pretty much eat up my residential energy budget with evening electronics: TV, DSS, PC (sometimes), and recharging iPads, cellphones, etc. it all matters
