It will run off 12v DC or 110v AC.
On 12v battery power it only draws .85 amp hrs. There are 3 settings to choose from on how far you want it to draw down your battery before shutting off. This keeps you from having a dead battery if you forget to recharge.
Depending on the outside temps and what temp you set the unit for I can go 2 or 3 days before needing to run run the vehicle to recharge the batteries.
Obviously keeping ice cream ( or meat ) frozen when it is 100 degrees out will shorten the time over keeping beers cold when it is 85* outside.
We have used these for years and love them. So much so I am finally building it a permenant home
Here is a link with some mfg info.

Edit...... I run it off my Factory 7.3 dual battery setup.

I think if I were to do any additional mods for serious off grid camping I would use the roof space to add a 300 watt solar panel.
but even then I have come to enjoy my off grid time and generally speaking I just don't use much juice. I just like the idea of a solar excursion .. ya know being a greenie and all lmao

Just gotta do some figuring and planning for space and such. I'll keep an eye on what you got going on to see how you manage if you add solar power.
