This may be a good idea or an extremely bad idea. I work around boats and RVs everyday. It occured to me that a small RV refigerator would be a boon for keeping things cool. I'm tired of lugging ice too.

I came across this one at Camping World. it works with 12V, 110V, or LP. I know that refrigerators in RVs are vented in two places for the LP exhaust to escape. Couldn't a vent be rigged to run one of these on LP when away from shore power?

What are the vent specs? How much LP does it consume in average conditions per day or week?
What kind of clearances does it require?

When you say dc/ac or LP is that all in the same model?

Sure, most RV friges are that way. Gas refrigeration is very old technology.

I have a 3 way fridge in a truck camper....problem is that it requires a large vent and consumes too much LP to be practical in a C 25.
