If I hadn't already popped for my Vitrifrigo, I'd be doing this:

Using the Dometic/Vitri space for storage, and add a 50W solar panel on the pop top to run everything.
Top loaders are MUCH more efficient and can actuallly store suitable amounts of mass-quantities to be
"out there" as long as the 50W panel will allow (about 7-8 full dry-camping days without recharge of any
kind, except solar).
Of course, having 140-200 amp hour aux battery set up, supports that above example.
