Interesting.

A much less expensive option for some may be a chest freezer used as a fridge:  http://www.mtbest.net/chest_fridge.html   With an external thermostat, such as what homebrewers use, you can have a super-efficient "fridger" for about $200 total.   Running only a few minutes per hour means it will easily run off solar panels through an inverter.   I really like this idea, so I'll probably go this route when I start building my interior.

Someone on another bus conversion forum has a fridger that he has partitioned inside;  this allows him to have both frozen and chilled food in it.   Clever.
