Let me add that we have both: a compressor in the truck camper and absorption in the hybrid
There is no " better" it depends on the owners preferences and application.
We are satisfied with both.
What brand are you running in the truck camper ? My install will also be in a truck camper. What batteries are you running and how long are they lasting between charging ? Any additional info is appreciated.
Currently using an older Whirpool because the new one had a 1/2 shelf(small ) freezer I didn't like
Using one group 27 twelve volt that lasts 24 hrs
Rated draw is 1.33 amps @ 120 volt AC
Laying on top of the voltmeter is a twelve gauge extension cord end that goes to a 700 watt Harbor Freight inverter.
The WattMeter in the pic is plugged into shore power .
