Our 16 Montana has the big Norcold 18 cu ft rv fridge and so far it has done very well on 2 round trips to Myrtle Beach at 40 hours each. I do think it uses a lot of energy and propane while going down the road. There are 2 fans inside the unit and at least 2 outside for the cooling fins. The burner sounds like a jet engine but I don't know how big the flame is. When running off the battery and not connected to the truck I don't know if it would last long or kill the battery quick. We do not boon dock so on a/c it does fine and DW loves the space it has. Bottom line is if it ever goes out I would look at a residential unit because this thing is $4k to replace and that will buy several nice residential units.
The OP started this thread March 10th, 2016.
It ran it's course -of pros and cons- five days later (no new posts).
A "bump" happened when a poster deleted his own post Dec.31, 2017.
So - since the last "real" pro & con 3-15-16, two years of inactivity
is getting close.
While your info is interesting - maybe a *new* thread would be a good start for up-to-date experiences & opinions...:C
