Dometic compressor fridge?
Does anybody know of a dealership in Socal that has them in Stock so I could look at it?

Side question, what is with bashing of amonia refrigerators?
When I understand that compressor has its advantage in speed of cooling or working off level, I have been using amonia refrigerators for 30 years and they work just fine.
I posted my test a year ago how well My Dometic is cooling in 125 F weather.
I actually liked the old designs, that would work on propane with no outside power.
This way when I was leaving RV for long time, the master switch was turned to off.
One less thing to worry about.
Depends on how you use your camper. My wife and I never stay in the same place two nights in a row. We are always traveling, and above 55 mph, the propane flame in our ammonia fridge in our camper would always blow out. I tried filters on the intake grill, additional shielding around the flame, windbreaks on the roof fridge outlet, and never could get it to stay on above 55 mph. So every evening we would have a fridge temp of 50-55 degrees and a thawing freezer. We prayed that overnight it would cool down enough to give it a head start for the following day warm up. We threw away lots of food that we didn't trust after several days of warm fridge temps.
The compressor fridge gets cold fast and stays cold no matter what speed I drive. And it doesn't use any propane or electricity other than what the solar panels provide. Absolutely perfect for our camper use.
