RV Absorbsion refers take a minimum of 24 hours to reach operating temp.
With a small 1.7 cu ft manual light gas absorption fridge, maybe ... but I'd have to disagree when it comes to a ~ 6 cu ft fridge / freezer typical of those found in most TTs, 5ths, etc. We may not see quite the extreme summer temps here in Ontario that you see in Texas but high 80s, low 90s aren't that uncommon yet I can easily turn on my fridge and have it sufficiently cool within 4 hours ... anything longer than that and I'd be looking for a problem with the fridge. I've owned both Norcold and Dometic and can't say one works any better, or cools any quicker, than the other ... 4 hrs and I'm good to go. :B
