Plus the thought of needing to wait 24hr for an absorption fridge to cool off sound awful to me.
You do know there are 12v compressor refrigerators out there. Not sure about the pricing but they're probably more expensive than the typical "dorm fridge". BUT they draw maybe half the current of that dorm fridge. I have a Dometic 2.4cuft unit in my camper and couldn't be happier.
Nova Kool even makes a
conversion kit to convert anything from a well insulated cooler to an older absorption fridge into a DC compressor fridge. Best thing, IMO, about a compressor fridge vs the absorption fridge is you don't have to worry about parking on the level.
