For those who have or had had an off-brand (not ARB, not Dometic, Not Engal) I am interested in feedback on the units.
For those who have never used or owned one yet with opinions please PM me instead of posting to the thread.
I have an ARB I loved in my last camper. New camper has propane fridge so I stayed with it, but have reservations. I rather have a compressor fridge. I only ever had issues in NY in the Fall when there was no sun to lite up the solar.
The high price tag of Dometic or Engal ones at over $1k are a deal breaker for me.
Others are priced 600-800 bucks I can live with.
Some might have Danfoss (waeco) compressors, but some might be china copies. Sometimes the copies are near good enough given the price.
All reviews on these on the selling pages look good, but the reviews are always written one week after purchase and not so valuable. Who has really used one and put it to the test?
Brands I see are Iceco and Costway for example.
I only interested in the ones with both a freezer and fridge compartments.
Again, I have an ARB electric fridge, so I am not asking about the one compartment units, only the ones with two compartments that can have a freezer and a fridge option at the same time. I am asking about the lower-priced brands.
