Non generator trailers outnumber us 10 to 1 so I'm thinking absorption will be around for awhile.
And as a lover of the sights and sounds of the outdoors vs Mr Onan, I hope they do.
I believe you will find that most of those trailer ownwers also carry a portable generator.
Absorption refers require 12 volt dc to operate.
I used to be one of those and in that situation, an absorption fridge is still preferable even with a generator for most owners that dry camp. Yes, it uses 12v for the control board but not that much and so do a lot of other things. I never had an issue making it 24 hours on a single cheap semi deep cycle battery. Also, you don't often find room for more than 2 batteries on TTs and usually only a box for one from the factory. I do realize you can build a vented compartment for more batteries but they are going to outfit the trailers for the battery bank they leave the factory with and that will require an absorption fridge.
