I am in the market to get a fridge for the cruiser for camping. I have a family of 5. My question is to the people with the bigger 65/75 qt fridges do you need all that room or would a 55 be good?

If you have the room for a big fridge do it, I have an ARB 63qt and my wife packs it like Tetris it doesn't matter if we are gone a weekend or more it's good to have that extra food.I am in the market to get a fridge for the cruiser for camping.

dual battery set up.Our Dometic 75L Dual Zone is at the top end for my wife and I so I'd guess it would be perfect for a family. I say this because we almost always return from a trip with some frozen food. Also consider that the bigger the fridge the less room you have for other junk and the more power it takes. I would guess that the 75L size is right for you. If you get a true dual zone you can have the zones all fridge, all freezer or half and half. We run the smaller zone as a freezer and the larger one as the fridge. Our LC is a 200 series with a cool box and we use it all. Just my $.02.
One semi-related question - how do you plan to power it?
My 55 L Nat. Luna at times, is barely big enough for myself, being single. But, a larger fridge will also give you better options for stacking larger containers and arranging your fridge, which with a family, you'll undoubtably need.I am in the market to get a fridge for the cruiser for camping.

How long anything runs is a function of the size of your battery.Im also in the market for a new dual zone fridge/freezer. Since I’ve only had single zones fridge/freezers and in general, they are power hungry in freezer mode. How well does the large dual zone fridge (over 60L) do in term of power? Im planning for some trips over a week and prefer not fire up the car to charge the aux battery.
