Compressor Refrigerator opt 12v?
Has anyone been using one of these 12v compressor refrigerators? I've heard they are low amp drawing. How are they on the battery?

If the camper is charged by the truck, the compressor fridge will run just fine while you are driving.
But when you are camped and have no other means to recharge, the compressor fridge will draw your batteries empty quicker than a conventional propane fridge which uses little to no electricity while on propane.
The battery capacity and charging technology need to be matched to the power consumption. Solar may be an option, and maybe an additional battery. But someone in the know should look into your specific setup to cone up with the best solution.
