Baz, which ones were you looking at? I suspect a small dual fuel would work, but we don't want to run into a situation where fuel is not available, and we don't want to store a lot of fuel or get a propane tank.
I appreciate the guidance!

I would get the lithium batteries off ali-express. Solar panels, charge controller domestically.
You need to size your wattage usage to determine how big of system you need. Literally the sky is the limit on sizing. I have a controller on my hmmwv to float charge the batteries. Have a small 40 watt system for an electric fence. Seperate system for the camper.
For a fridge and small accessories. Would say 3kw hour system. Throw in avg sun hours. Prolly could get away with 2 -300 watt panels and battery bank depending on fla vs lithium ion.
