When our original refrigerator dies (of course a few days before a departure), I found a dorm reefer that would fit and then stopped at Hazard Fright and bought their 750/1500 modified square wave box (I refuse to use the word sine in this context). It was a complete success.
Now comes the adventure....
I managed to repair the unit, a wife does not want it back as the new box worked better. But, she did not like the arrangement of the freezer compartment at all. So, a year or so later, we found one at a big box that she liked and the out side dimensions were about the same. In it went and I sold off the other two.
Down the road a couple years, we were just barely out bound when the magic smoke leaked out the HF inverter. As we were actually closer to the store than home, for 39$us+tax we pick up a replacement and bought the warranty this time.
I took the dead one back and the replacement has been riding with us for years now. It also serves to provide the AC to power the laptop and many other things as it has a lot of reserve power.
