No, no, no... This Furrion given in links above is not a Danfoss-style compressor, it is not efficient. It draws 15 amps...

I have one of these ICECO Compressor Fridgehttps://www.wayfair.com/appliances/pdp/iceco-211-cuft-frost-free-chest-freezer-ieco1002.html .

The one you link is a 2 C.F. that is listed at 7.5 amps. The Furrion is 10 C.F. and is listed at 15 amps. I'd assume a larger fridge would use a larger compressor, and thus more amps. I'm not an e...r.

No, maybe that particular seller has wrong info. The Iceco is a danfoss or danfoss style and draws super low amps, 3-5. It is the same as the Engle, ARB or Dometic as far as power goes. 5 or less amps is very low draw and will not drain batts in a day.

I was camping 4 days and parked in the forest under tall trees in NC for 3 days and it rained every afternoon. The batts never went lower than 12.3 over night. In the shade they never got to full charge either, but the fridge ran the whole time (I mean was keeping things cold/frozen) and worked like a champ. I would leave all day and close the roof vents but leave windows cracked because it rains, and it was hot in camper during the day too. Windows are frameless so can be left open.

Anyway, people who do not have these type fridges are chiming in so much, too much. They are great, use low power and I do not know anyone who is not happy with them.
This Iceco is a bit of an off brand for Yanks, but ARB, Engle (spell?) and Dometic are the big 3. I also have an ARB single compartment unit that works great, but I needed a freezer and a fridge, so upgraded.
I chose Iceco for the price and that I can control both compartments separately. I can turn one on, one off, have both as fridges, both as freezers or one of each, and set temps independently...
