Just a thought, seems to me that if you wanted to go off grid... the last thing you would want is is to run anything on propane if at all possible. Sure it might be unavoidable, but sufficient solar will run everything so you can truly be off grid. My vote would be FOR the residential fridge in spite of its power demands. They are also cheaper to buy and maintain than the RV fridges. I have heard many tales of RVers with 1600 to 2000 watts and the batteries to support it being able to go months with out needing propane or genset time. YMMV as they say. Still, RV fridges are a choice too. To each, their own.
