I am a r/VanDwellers and live from a van that has a fridge (cooler-shaped, 12v/24v/120v Dometic 65-quart fridge/freezer combo), a little Camco camp toilet, pressurized hot water tank for dishes and bathing,a Camp Chef dual-burner propane stove with oven that uses Coleman tanks or a white tank, and a modest ($1,300) solar setup...
I've lived completely off grid and mobile since August 20 17 until this past Winter because cold and snow!
With a double bed across the back with regular linens, storage for clothes and tools and cooking, power outlets, I have all the comforts of home.
Not counting the van, my complete setup was about $3,500.
The Prairie Schooner can be disassembled in a day and all the components can be applied to a cabin - as soon as I get some land (LOL!) for said cabin - leaving a regular cargo van for work or resale.

I got the cfx 65 for my 140" sprinter: https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-CFX-65DZUS-Portable-Electric-Refrigerator/dp/B00SZ7XJ8K/ref=pd_cart_rp_2_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8VA9R0WQ7PWHFTM1TBD4
I was quite happy it came in grey.
You're welcome, glad you found it useful. More info at the blog next to my name.
It's kinda pricy..

Actual 12v refrigerators are pricy, but they are the real deal. I'm talking popsicles on 100 degree days.
Well if you want to use a traditional fridge you will need a big system. But if you go with a fridge like this: https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-CFX-65DZUS-Portable-Electric-Refrigerator/dp/B00SZ7XJ8K
Those can run nearly indefinitely on a car battery and a 100 watt panel.
Technology for DC fridge compressors has changed. I got rid of my 3way fridge and bought this Nova Kool 3.5 cubic foot 2way fridge for my Alaskan Camper. The DC compressor is amazing.I just got back from a 3.5 month trip driving around in Central America - think hot and humid - and the fridge never had a problem keeping up and making ice! I have one 160 watt solar on the roof, and a portable 80 watt that I used maybe 10 days. I'd spend anywhere from 1 to 6 days in one spot. While I was driving I also used a Dometic in the back seat of the truck for cold water, beer, and a place to store cold groceries on the road.
Anyway, the DC compressors have come a LONG way in the last few years. Pricey though.
Someone asked for links because they are lazy. Understanding this issue at a deep level, here you are:
