12 volt Refrigerators
Have any thoughts on the new 12 volt Refrigerators? So far I am impressed with the 10 Q ft. Not much of a amp draw

I have a GE 12V only RV fridge in my TT. I also have 400W of solar and 4-6V GC batteries. With decent semi to full sunny days and being in the sun about 60-70% of the time I can go 3 days without running the gen. Thats also using most all 12V stuff available like the TV, Dish, LED lights water pump, etc with no furnace.
The cool down and temp stabilization are heads above the Norcold we replaced.
We aren't winter campers and if it's going to be cloudy with rain we usually stay at elec sites so the fridge is then running off the converter.
I will never go back to an absorption type fridge. I paid $950 and another $40 for a 3 year warranty. I gained 2+ more cu.ft as well. It was snap to install, needs no inverter like a 120V does and is quiet enough to not be noticeable when the compressor's running.
It was super easy to install and wire up.
Most all 12V fridges are made in China by the same company either re-branded or with some design changes.
