for my purposes, it would be a draw in weight, finances and energy.
A well insulated cooler and a couple of bags of ice available at any
port or marina would be a better benefit. and I'll drop back to one 8-
D and one automotive battery and go back with a smaller and lower
powered alternator for better efficiency due to less drag and flywheel
effect. still gotta have the microwave and coffee maker, though.

I'll get it figured out

I like simple.... a good cooler and ice... if I need to, there is a
local grocery store with dry ice! (I mix the two... dry ice will
freeze EVERYTHING.)

There used to be a place where you could buy dry ice cubes, they were
very convenient...

Our local little Safeway sells dry ice now. Never bought any, but I see the
sign.
