12 volt refrigerator

[Jh65]

How well do the 12v refrigerators work when boon-docking?? How much solar wattage is required or at least ok for boondocking with a 12v fridge. I am looking at an Alliance Valor with a 12v only fridge and am concerned about having enough battery power to continuously run the fridge. This particular rv comes with 2 400w solar panels(800w total). Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The typical 12v RV compressor refer consumes 30-55 Ah per day. 360-660 watts (Wh) per day. Your mileage however may vary. Apparently the 12v only compressor units vastly outperform the traditional absorption type units, only they're as could be expected, energy hogs.
