What I do know is that a lot of valuable data posts are gone, unobtanium, deleted. So, there will probably never be an answer to mexicowanderer's question.
Does it matter? Abuelo Mex must be bored, so he is asking whatever he feels like.
Somebody who's been a year on the board never read any complaints on propane refers? You can't conclude that propane fridge is reliable if you only use it 2 days a week 4 months a year - this is mere 1/10 of a year.
Average 120V residential compression will outlast an average ammonia powered by propane and will hardly require any maintenance during all that time. 12V compression "trucker" frigs like Novakool, Tundra, etc are different, condenser too small, compressor is different (12V) and/or control board finicky, you can't compare them with residentials, though I believe they are still more reliable than ammonia/propane fridges.
