We are considering downsizing our camper. We have a 28 foot fifth wheel now. Wife really wants a smaller travel trailer. Problem we are having is that everything we see has a 12 volt fridge.
We have a lot of new technology in the last 50 years.
We now have 12 volt "Coolers" (I won't call them a fridge) that, other than a fan, have NO MOVING PARTS.. yup. problem is they are what I vall -30 boxes (room temp - 30 F) so if its 70 they cool to 40 if it's 80 50 Not good
We have high efficiency compressor units. like LESS than 50 watts door closed. compressor running.. I have a chest freezer that is like that.
These are very good.. very efficient.. I'd love to see one in a Residential size
They are 12/120 volt as a rule (Though the 120 may be passed through a "Brick" so only 12 volt goes to the unit).
