Got my new fridge in!!

DJ, is Nelson's still at the old location or have they completed the new building and moved? Good looking install DJ.

Nelson's RV is the ONLY dealer in the Treasure Valley that I trust and allow to work on my truck and RV. Great folks that do what they say and always on time.

I forgot to add the Dealer checked the current draw. Spiked 6 amps at start up and then settled in at 1.6 amps to run. So it seems to take about the same amount of juice that my portable Engel did. I could go two full days/nights with it on one 12 volt battery before I had to start the genny.

And later this Spring I am going to add 100 watts of solar. :B

Hi DJ,

Wow, you did well to only pay for 2 hours install. On the other side of the equation they got to spend time working out how to do it on your camper, so will be more efficient next time a customer wants the same thing.

Ours is slightly bigger than yours (at least in volume) but we were really lucky not to have to remove the door frame. The old absorption fridge had to be dismantled to get it out the door, but the replacement was narrower, but deeper and just fitted through the door - I was extremely relieved. As you probably remember it was still a whole load of work for me even without removing that door, and I didn't need to cut into the existing cabinetry, I just had to make some trim to cover the gaps due to the width difference.

Enjoy your new fridge.

Steve.

DJ that one sweet install, I believe you'll very happy with it and the beer get ice cold with this unit.

Geez, way too much talking going on here. What is really important, is the Beer really, really, cold yet!?

Sounds like you have a great dealer that stands by his word. That is rare these days. I'm sure you will like it a lot on the back "roads" you travel.

It is a DC compressor fridge. DJ won't have to worry about parking level any more, just running out of battery juice.

RV fridges (absorption) will last a long time, but absorption fridges are slow and weak in high heat. The compressor fridges are much faster and will stay cold in the heat though use a lot more battery power to do so.

Was that a bigger fridge then original? Im seeing a lot of newer campers needing to replace there fridge I thought the rv fridges lasted a long time.

Sweet! Is this a DC fridge or a three-way?
