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?

I have a Nova Cool 12 volt/120 volt compressor refrigerator in my Class B RV. I am very pleased. It is always the right temperature regardless of outside temperatures. The battery draw is a non issue. I have two AGM 12 volt batteries and any draw down is quickly recharged when the either the generator or vehicle engine is started. The longest I parked without recharging the batteries was three days. Perhaps the best feature of a compressor refrigerator is they are not sensitive to being out of level. I can park anywhere! This is especially nice when parking not for the evening or longer where being level is important, but for shopping, site seeing, or anytime out of the vehicle for other than camping. Another nice feature is the quick cool down. I turn on the refrigerator and two hours later is is down to the set temperature.
