Not sure if you have considered this, but there are 12 volt Danfoss Compressor fridges. They run on 12 volt and I believe 120 volt. They are the fridges that are put in boats and over-the-road trucks. They work just like a regular fridge, and you do not have the leveling problem that is a factor with the propane fridges. Also, they have a low power consumption. Worth a look...
I recently saw a guy that had one of those tiny homes and lived off-grid. He had a custom built fridge made from an old chest freezer and had it repiped with something like the 12V Danfoss compressor. He had racks inside that slid back and forth to accommodate access. He loved the **** thing since it just sipped power. Not for everyone but a good food storage solution.
