Agreed. No refrigeration on Lealea and we have converted all lighting to LED.
We are able to carry 12 months worth of food (Plus food and litter for the cat) aboard our 27 foot Vega. (I think I've listed it on another thread) If not for the water maker though we couldn't do it because of the weight. Freeze dried foods in mylar envelopes are light weight and easy to pack and that is what makes it possible for us. We also carry some canned goods plus ordinary dry stuff like oatmeal, beans, rice etc. and of course fresh eggs, fruits and veggies which will last up to two months or more.
