I will add solar power to also charge the batteries. I am thinking of also using an 120V Energy Saver refrigerator with 120 V AC while connected to shore power and then switch to an inverter when 120V AC is not available.
(excerpted from the truckfridge website)
Although MOST trucks do not need the additional option of 110vAc electric, we do offer the option for those whom find it necessary.
TruckFridge AC/DC models automatically switch from 12vDC battery power to 110vAC household electric from shorepower, household electric, generator, etc. when available and plugged in, then back to 12vDC when 110vAC is no longer available. This is used mainly for long term use when idling is not an option.
(Note: Although the 110vAC will run on a correctly sized inverter, this is not the best method. It is best to let the fridge run on 12vDC, as the inverter duplicates the fridge electronics by changing 12vDC to 110vAC and the fridge then changes 110vAC back to 12vDC.)

I just bought one to replace a WFCO buy haven't installed it yet.
