The secret magic fridge you'd need is an efficient DC freezer like the one I have, which draws about 25 watts and runs 10-50% of the time depending on temps:

In my builds the fridge is the biggest overall power draw. Trying to run an AC fridge costs more in extra panels+batteries than buying a DC fridge.
This is a Norcold MRFT40 that's about 10 years old. It's built like a tank and is very spacious. I hear this is another edition of the Engel 34 qt fridger/freezer that retails for $875 new: https://www.amazon.com/Engel-Qt-Portable-Fridge-Freezer/dp/B00042JXKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527542170&sr=8-1&keywords=engel+34+qt
Both feature a highly efficient Sawafuji swing motor with one moving part that is supposed to be very efficient. It is super quiet.
I'm excited to not be chasing ice on my trip westward to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Badland, Canylonlands, Arches, and more. :-)
I do have to order a new Engel DC cord for about $43 shipped. Still a great deal.
This will be going in my converted 2005 Toyota Sienna inspired by Element Van Life's build with a bed platform and cabinet system. I've also added a vinyl floor to cover the carpet and seat latches on the floor.
A friendly reminder to watch out for used DC fridges. I don't see them for sale too often.
