Why consider 12v fridge for boondocking?
So I want to offer up this question out about 12v compressor refrigerators. I'm going to post this on other forums too, so your "forum tramps"(like me)may see this spread around some other pages. Not...

The question is too general, really...in a Class A MH or Class B van where you have diesel-powered hydronic floor heating using a 12v compressor fridge allows you to skip onboard propane altogether, eliminating a whole mechanical system. On a trailer, you need propane for heat, so going to a 12v compressor fridge doesn't allow you avoid carrying propane.
As someone said, cloudy days don't last, so if you're parked somewhere and have 6 batteries to hold you over, then solar is a good option. If you camp for a weekend when it's overcast for 3 days, you'll for sure need that genset to power a 12v compressor fridge.
