Interesting topic about compressor refrigerator vs absorption refrigerators. I dumped my old Norcold 300.3 (2.7 cu.ft.) for a
Domentic CR1110,a 12Vdc compressor refrigerator. I got tried of fighting the losing battle of poor performance and having sunk $400 a year and half ago into it, it was time for a new direction.I have a 85 watt solar panel and 1 group 27 battery and I have had no problem with running out of battery power.
One of things I notice that when you guys were calulating engery consummation of the refrigerator is duty cycle of the compressor once the refrigerator reached set point. Engery consummation isn't all that great at that point.
Last little note,I attend the last Pomona Fairplex RV show here in S. California and found out that some of the new MHs are coming with domestic refrigerators instead of the absortion type.
