Hmmm I seem to remember the figure 1.15 amps for the Norcold. 'Course that can be expressed as 1,150 ma.
The sole heat-to-cold device that I still respect is a lithium bromide absorbsion chiller. Even then the entering stream temperature had to be monitored hourly to avoid the lithium bromide from dropping out of solution.
On a hundred degree day I would start out at dawn with a 35 degree Norcold then switch it to gas. At 6:30 I would arrive at my destination and the 12-volt element provided a bone numbing 47F. Ten degrees above correct temperature using wattage that would have successfully maintained a 17 CF chest freezer at -5F
BOTH Vestfrost units together use LESS energy than the Norcold. The penalty was in the price and the weight.
Installed 1985. Never touched since.
