OP, let us know what you decide on.
I have no decision to make. I just happened to see something about it on You Tube and I thought I would ask what all of you think.
I am very happy with the gas/electric fridge on my 1993 Travel Trailer. It works well and allows me to dry camp.
On the other hand, my brother has a 2018 5th wheel and his gas/electric fridge will not keep things cold in slightly hot weather. It will also not keep things cold while towing. His fridge is one of those with no temp controls on the eyebrow. You are supposed to slide the thermister up and down on the coils to control the temp. I had a buddy that had one of those fridges too and it never worked with a darned either.
The poor build quality and design of some of these never gas/electric fridges has killed the industry.
My old TT is wore out and I'm almost afraid to get a newer one. Besides the fridges not keeping things cold in newer RV's. The AC's in newer RV's seem to be awful too. I can turn my TT into a refrigerator setting in the sun on a 90+ degree day. But, many people say that they can not.
Oh well, I'm going to squeeze one more year out of my rig. After that I will see what happens. .
