OK Dennis, how did you rotate my pictures? Thanks!!! Like you I went the Amish route which helped the 1200 operation and I may miss checking the remote temperate reading several times a day. Anyone need a Amish cooling unit?
This EnergyStar Whirpool 21 CuFt Refer has a energy guide of $44/year and 410,000 kWh/year or 1,123 W/day or 94 Amps/day... So out of my 500 AH battery bank I should be able to go two days before getting to 50% and needing to recharge. $44/year is 12 cents a day... It's amazing how energy efficient they have gotten these things.
Bought these to hold the doors shut when traveling but may have to paint them black for the DW... guess she earned it helping to get it in.:B
Had some black plastic paint so I installed the door locks. Need one fitting to hookup the ice maker and that should complete this project.
*I would hate to pay someone $100/hour to do this project as the labor on my PSW power system would have been more than $1000 and removing the side window and modifying the cabinet plus installing would be more than $1000 also. OOPS, without a JD (John Deere) you will have an hour with three guys... $1300+
If you are not tall then installing a top freezer unit closer to the floor would be my recommendation.
Just thought I was finished with this project... have to put the side window back in.:S
