I might just be weird, but I would still want a propane fridge and stove top.
Yah I hear you. I actually like the new compressor small 12 volt fridges but one needs proper supporting solar and storage for them. For many, us included, getting that much solar and storage is difficult. I appreciate our 3 way propane fridge…although we have never er used it in 12 volts. We primarily run propane.
One of the big advantages of the 12 volt compressor units is the interiour size for a given footprint. No absorption cooling unit makes for a lot more room inside.
We know our next unit will have a compressor fridge (no choice) but hopefully it will also have an appropriate amount of storage and solar.
Jmho.
ya, I don't think there is any reason I would want a compressor fridge. To me they are a tradeoff. ya you get more space, but you now need to use more battery power while you're traveling and your sacrificing reliability. Do I want more space... in the 5th wheel no its pretty decent and I have two fridges in there, camper ya it's one of the little guys so if this one ever dies I will put a larger (taller) one in, but its been going strong for 32 year now.
