Hi @Rocky, electrically I do not see a problem, but I don't think it would work for long. Assuming that the 184l fridge would draw at least 20 amps and your "beer" fridge also drawing current (unknown type/size), you would need considerable battery storage capacity AND the ability to put lots of "juice" (amps) back in at the same time. Needs lots of solar if off grid. Provide more info and will be able to advise further.
Ditto to Boots, what sort of fridges are they ?? battery size is needed before a reliable answer can be provided.....
but a general answer would be, 3 way fridge NO, they don't do 12v and will eat a battery in hours if not under constant charge , a compressor fridge in van probably NO as they need at least a 120ah battery for themselves with daily charging, if running a beer fridge it would need a similar battery capacity to operate ... so ball park figure if the aux battery is 200plus ah lithium with a decent sized solar panel hanging off it and your van and beer fridge are compressor models then probably yes ........ charging using a vehicle is not a great idea .....
Any leads as shown would need to be a minimum of 8 B&S to minimise power loss....
