which coachman travel trailer has 2-way refers for off grid camping? Solar/lithium batteries not exactly affordable for retired folks. Propane is inexpensive compared to spoiled food when batteries go below 50% charge and fail. thanks
 
Are there any travel trailers that don't have a fridge that can run on propane?
 
I was kinda thinking the same as @Rosy

Then I figured if it has to be a coachman, then the company could best answer the question.

No matter the question has been asked, so!

You don't need lithium to have solar! Solar and apartment fridge was the logical answer to my very unreliable 2 way fridge back in the day (2008). I'm sure they have become much more reliable in recent years.

The thing I find comical is the number of people that shy away from propane because they think it's a fire Hazard, and load up on lithium!

Anyhow, I have a very reliable solar electrical system using thin plate carbon lead batteries, used panels, and cheap China made solar controllers. Including the fridge my out of pocket, was less than another 2 way garbage RV fridge!

I can tell you know what you want! My hope is you have been listening to people that have more than just an opinion! Good luck on your search.

P.S.
The nomad community firmly believes in the pay as you go principle. Following this principle I am able to stash a full half of my stipend for projects and traveling when I choose.

The winter season is winding down now, and it will be to warm to stay with my limited solar install. So will be moving to cooler climates. Before I go however, no matter how I resolve to not engage in other people's projects, I will be spending a few days helping another person with a reliable solar electrical system for their pull trailer.

The point? Consider a rig that you can make your own, and won't put you in the hole. Then what you want can be budgeted into existence on a tight fixed budget.
