If you haven't considered it already, let me make some suggestions:

1) Obtain several 12V power outlets (cigar lighter sockets) to install near 
each seat and next to the battery box for the refrigerator.  Tap these 
directly off the battery through an auxiliary fuse block in the engine 
compartment.  It might be a good idea to make only one of them continuously 
live for the refrigerator and run the rest through a relay activated by the 
ignition switch.

2) If the GB needs a new battery, get an Optima 51R Yellow Top.

3) Consider dual batteries with an isolator.
