Up/Downsides of 110V Refrig system

Gents,

I've browsed the web quite a bit and found nothing related to the upsides and downsides of a pure 110V refrigiration system. I am old school and have always thought that everything on a boat should be 12V to make it simple, but there is a boat I am looking at which has an excellent 110V Refrig system which requires the generator to run.

For extended cruising, away from marinas, and using solar panels/wind power to replenish the batteries I thought that relying on generator is not right. Is there a simple system I should look into to convert to 12V or simply adapt the system to run both?

The system is a 1997 Sea Frost 110V. I've already emailed them as well for advice.
