Changeover to Residential Fridge

Last fall I finally pulled out our Norcold 2118 propane guzzling fridge and put in a residential one exactly the same dimensions. We wintered for our 5th time on a beach in Baja, Mx for 3 months and our solar had no problem keeping us in electric power for the trailer generally with the fridge. We watch TV every night for 2 or 3 hours, use an ice maker, an air fryer once in a while, and the microwave for short periods. Last year, with the propane fridge, we went through a 30 lb tank once a week. This year, with the residential fridge, we used a tank about once a month. I,m very pleased with our setup. This coming year I will try to heat our water with electric.Are there some out there that do heat water with solar?
