If you decide it 's time to pull out the checkbook buy a compressor fridge. They don't have to be level which provides a lot more freedom when boondocking.

You know Linda, I've never given much thought to regular compressor refrigerators for an RV because I always assumed that RVers that wanted a homestyle refrigerator in their RV were folks that were going to be plugged into the campground most of the time, so it didn't really interest me.

All they need is lots of solar panels when I checked the amperage draw.

That's exactly the way I felt also, but apparently great inroads have been made into making 12 volt compressors for RV refrigerators feasible.

I will refer you to Ted over at https://lifewithkurumi.wordpress.com/ for an experienced user / boondocker. When I looked at the compressor models I found ones large enough to handle a week and a half of food for me came in at a minimum 30AH per day usage. Yes they work well if you have room for enough solar/batts to handle the size you want and your other uses. I do not know what size you are looking for for full timing in the camper instead of the Fox. When my 15 year old fridge died a year and a half ago, I decided after researching it that just replacing in kind was my choice. Good luck with your decision.

Like I mentioned I'm new to this whole compressor refrigerator thing so I have a lot to learn.

My all electric/diesel van had ~400 watts of solar power with a similar sized battery bank. The fridge was 7.5 CF. I think it was a Norcold but I'm not certain of that. I had a lot of stuff bought through truck and boat suppliers.

That sounds like a great boondocking rig.
