Why consider 12v fridge for boondocking?
So I want to offer up this question out about 12v compressor refrigerators. I'm going to post this on other forums too, so your "forum tramps"(like me)may see this spread around some other pages. Not...

It's pretty cut and dried.
If you have an absorption fridge and it's working fine then don't even consider a 12V fridge.
If your absorption fridge quits working then you have a choice to make.
Stay the course or go 12V with solar and batteries. The choice is easier to make if you already have solar and batteries and your absorption fridge dies.
If you buy a new RV that comes with a 12V compressor fridge as OEM then you also have a choice to make. Add more solar to be able to boondock or don't if you mostly use elec hookups.
I've never read anywhere that someone took out their perfectly working absorption fridge and replaced it with a new 12V fridge because they wanted to boondock a lot.
