Another concern would be that the stock inverter in my Phaeton is MSW and not PSW, making the conversion even more costly.
Adding the cost of PSW inverter to replace MSW, replacing (already new) golf cart batteries, solar panels and controller, purchasing household refrigerator, modifying cabinetry, having a window removed and replaced and mounting the fridge. I can see now the cost fast approaching the $4500 replacement cost.
As much as I would like to have solid ice cream sandwiches, there is a lot to consider when converting.
My current Norcold is not as good as household but it keeps frozen foods frozen and keeps refrigerated foods as cold as my home model. The only time I would consider replacing it would be in case of a failure.
I guess I can add a pound or two of dry ice if I have to keep ice cream.
