(Note: I have two identical RVs...2015 Thor Majestic 28as. If I have the time one of these days, I'll do a refrigerator test on the two RVs. One has the origianl Dometic cooling unit, and the other one now has this brand new Amish built cooling unit that is supposed to provide better performance. I guess that would be a good way to see the difference (if any))
It's been a while, but yesterday I "accidentally" did a comparison test between the OEM refrigerator/cooling unit and the Amish one. I am getting ready to go on a trip with multiple RVs and so I turned on the refrigerator on both of my 2015 Thor Majestic 28a Class C RVs. Daytime temps are about 65*F and nighttime about 40*F. When I checked on the two refrigerators in the morning to verify they were both working as expected, I got a little surprise...
On the OEM refrigerator/cooling unit, the refrigerator section was at 35*F and the freezer section was at 4*F.
On the refrigerator that I had installed the Amish cooling unit, the refrigerator section was at 34*F and the freezer section was at -10*F.
It was only then that I remembered the salesman tell me that the Amish cooling units "worked better than the OEM cooling units". I guess he was right afterall!
Stay cool!
