another neg for the absorption fridge. I tested ours running off a fully-charged 130 Ah deep cycle battery and it only lasted about 12 hours or so until the battery was almost fully discharged. Probably more like 9 hours until the cooling became minimal.
(OTOH, it'll run for about a month on a 20 lbs prop tank...)
