I wonder if Norcold and/or Dometic absorption refrigerators just happen to use the same cooling size unit for their various different cubic footage size models? :h
If they do, that might explain some of the absorption refrigerator complaints (plus rare fires from over-heating) from the owners of larger size RVs - thus driving them to switch to residential refrigerators.
It seems like the same size cooling unit would be cycled ON a lot more trying to keep a big box cool versus - say - a 7 cubit foot box ... thus maybe not doing so well, or worst case failing completely - due to higher temperatures from longer burner run-times.
