:S Yes, 410, not 410,000 and using this info off the yellow energy star sticker is where the 47 percent came from.
Even when it was not hot out my Amish cooling unit did a poor job of keeping things cold. I found that shutting the 1200 off ever 36 hours would keep it from going into a defrost cycle as that was enough to warm it above 40 degrees using a outdoor remote temp sensor so I did not have to open the door.
It's nice to be able to put warm leftovers in the refer without worrying about how much that would warm it up.
Another reason for getting rid of the 1200 is the very real fire danger it poses. Yes, I know there are a few that do not agree with that statement BUT I've seen too many RV fires that were fortunately limited to behind a 1200 and others where the damage went through the roof.
