Everchill 12 volt refrigerator
Anyone who has an Everchill 10 cubic foot 12 compressor refrigerator I would like any info you can share. How well does it work, how much power does it draw, have you boondocked with it, etc. Thanks

Wife loves ours. It's much larger than the multi fuel we had in the last two campers and much faster.
I have read some have loud ones. Ours is not loud. However when we brought this camper home we were loading to camp the following day. I left the camper connected to the truck. When we left the following day
the battery on the truck was to low to start the truck. two sets of jumper cables fired it right up off a company mini van. Lesson learned. Always disconnect from the tow vehicle if not connected to shore power. The 2019 model of our same PUMA 31FKRK has a light switch beside the cook stove for the fridge power. Our 2020 Puma 31FKRK has no power switch. As soon as I connect power to the trailer the fridge comes on. To turn off the fridge you have to open the fridge door and push and hold the temp button for 3 or more seconds which powers it off. I use a battery disconnect when stored and use it more often now. Easier to shut off power than to unplug it from the truck. Just have to remember. We would not go back to the gas electric after having this fridge. Will it last? Time will tell. As info
edit. hold button 10 seconds to power it off and instructions say for powering on also but I have found a touch of the button powers it on or simply connect power at the battery cut off switch and it powers up the fridge even if it was manually powered off prior.
