Cheap insurance, as it were.
The O.E. fridge in my much-used 1978 trailer has lasted thirty-five years. So far.
Yep- and there is no way in the world a new model will last that long. If you can convince Dometic and Norcold to go back to the heavier tubing and separate perc tube a new one might last like an old one.
Of course the cost would be way more than the ARP control.
