Is a Norcold absorption RV refrigerator less expensive than a Dometic absorption RV refrigerator? $3000 is outrageous.
I hope my Norcold never goes out!! I wonder how much a residential absorption refrigerator (like the off-grid guys use in their homes) would cost so you could put that in an RV instead of an "RV" absorption refrigerator. Maybe "RV" product margins are approaching the nonsense "marine" product margins.
As much as I hate to say it ... it looks China better get into the manufacture of RV absorption refrigerators for the U.S. RV market ... ASAP.
