Anyone have specifics on what this type of rail is called or how to find one? Advice on installing it?

My Whynter 12v/110 freezer/fridge is going on a slide out tray below my kitchen counter on a pair of heavy duty over extension glides.


Not these, but similar...

Any Idea which brand has the lowest power consumption? I am wanting to do simple solar (260w panels + 2 Boat/RV battery's with a 2000w pure sine converter) off grid with no provisions for power or ice.

I bought a Frigidaire from Lowe's. Think it is 4.7 cu ft. 110 volt, single door, with a small freezer compartment inside. Door is lockable. Test usage measured with kill a watt meter
320 watts in 24 hours starting with fridge at room temperture
75 degrees up to upper 80's in bus at time of test
opened the fridge a handful of times, not as many as likely in real use though
very quiet

I am by no means saying this is the best, just saying what I have found, and am using.
