I am no fan of killing the house batts attempting to keep the beer cold and ice cream solid , so what works for me is propane.
The new units light off when cooling is required , which might calm the fears of some.
But I remembered in the Windwards some folks (mostly multihullers with no heal) used kerosene.
This was cheap , easy to get and seemed to work for them
I took a look and Servelle is now owned bu Dometic , but indeed they make a kero unit.
Sure it is a bit of extra work installing a proper vent , but for no dead batts ever , it might be worth the effort.
