Have never heard the "Stirs stuff, contaminates, in the freon" line. in fact it's not freon but another refrigerante since 19something but that's a nit)
However I have heard many who have upgraded bemoaning "How do I keep it cold on a long trip".. You knwo with a tank of propane and a RV type Absorption Cooling Unit.. I never ask that question.. I just push the button and it stays cool.
Himacane (Used to call'em hurricanes but alas this one was named Matthew) came calling a bit closer than I was comfortable with and power was lost for like 3-4 days.. No problem Propane held. Generator kept batteries happy.
Less scary for me (Not for Digger) Digger O'Grady ran his backhoe through a little cable (The thousands of volts PRIMARY power feed to the RV park cable) (I'll bet that was impressive) and power was down for a few days till the power company spliced.. NO PROBLEM.
Many advantages to Absorption cooling units.. Many.
