Grisly, i have a 3 way fridge and run it on Gas. Its very efficient and when travelling switch it to 12 volt. As trev states it would suck your battery dry very quickly.I have a 100amp deepcycle battery in my van and although I have not punished it yet, we have camped in the bush for 5 days and ran a couple of lights with led globes SPARINGLY and did not run out of 12 volt power. I also have a 100watt solar panel and am experimenting with it to top up the battery. Some people say u should never let your battery get below %50 some like trev %80. In any case , you should not let it deplete completly as it shortens the life of the batt. Hope this helps johno There is a thread of mineposted tday "connecting 12 volt power to van"which might help also. cheers
