Poor guy!

You don't have to replace the whole fridge, just
the 220V heater attached to the exhaust pipe. They
are replaceable anyway, if they get broken.

Maybe there is a converter from 220V to 12V to load
the battery, replace it by a 110V to 12V.

I guess, all bulbs and fluorescence lights are made
to be feed at 12V.

That all, I guess.
