Protection for RV Absorption refrigerators.

I just finished installing this controller add-On. It protects the internal tubing of your Absorption Refrigerator. We all know not to run the fridge off level, but who among us is always turning it off when we stop for a quick lunch by the side of the road, or when going over long mountain passes.
Every time the boiler overheats, it causes rusting throughout the system. Eventually, it clogs or leaks. Some people are lucky and do not have the refrigerator die, but when it happens, it's big bucks. I'd rather put the money into the gas tank and travel.
Easy to install, and peace of mind are the benefits of this design. Norcold's update only addresses the overheating that creates a fire condition, it does not protect the internal tubing from a short life.
You can read all about the design and benefits at www.ARPrv.com. It sold me.:B
RVing is :)Great.........

You don't know how these fridges work at all so we have to think you don't know what your doing with the product your trying to hock.
Rusting on the inside? That's a new one.

Hey 'Battleship Joe'

Not a very good salesman because you do not know about absorption fridges and operating while in transit.

'going over long mountain passes'....doesn't affect fridge operation because the coolant is sloshing around from the rolling, rocking, bouncing of RV :S

And overheating doesn't cause rust......overheating causes the 'rust inhibitor' to crystallize which causes it to plate out on inside wall of tubing. :S

Should at least read up before promoting benefits :S

And just like Norcold....Dometic had to address the issue also. They just did it differently. Again something you should have read up on before just bashing Norcold :S
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Old news...and I replaced my 20 year old cooling unit for less than the cost of a comparable residential unit that everyone seems to say is the only real fix. I'd prefer the RV refrigerator with the capability of gas or electric operation, and the assertion that it is "big bucks" to fix is untrue, unless you junk it and buy new at vastly inflated retail.
