Wayne,
 Operation of the fridge on 12VDC is only practical when you're
travelling; they tend to draw a LOT of current. I'd bet on 8-10 amps or
maybe more, not a problem when the tow vehicle is running, but will run
a battery flat in a hurry when it's not. Remember that the "electric"
side of these fridges is nothing more than a heating element, probably
100 watts or so. That'd be over 8 amps at 12VDC.
