Portable Freezer Unit

We have been full time for 6 months now. Wife is very good with shopping and fridge organization but would like some additional freezer space to store some more long term stuff (chicken, steak, roast). Ideally I would like to keep the unit in the front storage area in my rig, it seems to be ventilated pretty well up there. I want to run it on A/C only so I do not need any DC capability but it may be nice if needed. Anyone have any experience or used one strictly for freezing?

Never used a portable freezer, or a tiny freezer before, the process would be identical to using a small apartment size refrigerator. If the space fits, why not? If you want to run the freezer off the battery, when you are towing, you could get a small inverter that hooks up to your camper battery and then you plug the refrigerator into the inverter. No need for fancy wiring, or trying to figure things out.

When you set up camp at the campsite, simply unplug from the inverter and plug the refrigerator back into 120v AC into a wall socket, or run an extension cord. it's very doable, as long as your camper has space to fit a freezer.

Something like this, click here?

Your tow vehicle will continue to trickle charge your battery when traveling. So the tow vehicle will keep the battery charged so the inverter will run. The inverter will run to keep the freezer cold. Simple, easy-peasy.

We keep a portable refrigerator in our camper next to our portable 14000 BTU portable A/C. It could easily be a freezer. I noticed in your camper you have a "pantry" that looks like it has some space on the countertop above it. Why not set a small portable freezer on it? I can't imagine getting into a pass through storage with a freezer would offer the same convenience or space.
