Replacement refridgerator

[dave mumert]

Hi Curtis

If your fridge is in good shape you might consider having the compressor replaced with a Danfoss
unit. A refrigeration shop should be able to change the compressor.

I have the 3 way and find the DC portion to be rather useless. Next time
I will go AC and Propane.

Dave -

we use the DC portion when refueling and for those cases where we have to
park very close to the pumps when we spend more time at the gas stop - such
as eating or grabbing e-mail etc. Generally we don't spend more than 2
hours at a stop counting the fill time, so the fridge shouldn't have much
of a temp rise. But for those very hot days I feel better knowing that
everything will stay cold even if I stay longer that I intended.
