We've got a 63 qt EdgeStar - its been running in my basement storage for 3.5 years NON stop w/out issue (except the time i lowered the thermostat too low & froze a beer).
our edgestar runs on 12vdc or 120vac (automatically switches based on whats available).
I never empty ours & never turn it off - when the coach is in storage, the cooler is on shore power.
I have a friend that has the same cooler in the back of his van. The van sits outside his house in the TEXAS sun - his cooler is 2 yrs older than ours and it has NEVER been turned off, EVER, and its never missed a beat. My friend powers his off a single deep cycle battery (when he's not on shore power) and a single solar panel (on the roof of the van) to keep the battery charged when he's dirt biking int he desert.
I picked ours up from
COMPACT APPLIANCES (free shipping).
our outdoor cooler is one of the best upgrades that I've ever made - even if we sell the coach ill buy another cooler. I love not having to search for ice or worry about how much ice is in the cooler.
