Yessir, I agree, with what I know so far. And, the price is WAY lower than a Novakool. Plus, comparing the dimensions with the Dometic, it WILL fit through the door. Having said all that, I'm in...

Just found this AC/DC fridge as well. They're made in Eugene Oregon. The folks there are very nice and gave me some details about the amperage draw/power requirements. The 5CF model draws 5 amps at...

I have been run out of a nice peaceful and quiet campground more than once by a generator -- even the "ultra-quiet" ones. Just from a consumption and operating expense standpoint, the newer and more...

Also, I emailed NovaKool a few days ago about whether they had ever approached ETI or other trailer manufacturers about the possibility of using Compressor fridges as a factory option. I got a reply...

solar panel arrangement

Two 160w solar panels would be ideal for my plans to use an ac/DC fridge. There is only room for one on the 17b roof. If I have ETI prewire for solar and have the connections come off the side...

These are interesting too. Like an Ice chest, but with a Danfoss compressor, up to 49 qt capacity (alot of beer) run super cold, and only .7 Ah power consumption. I'd want a built in, but this might...

Man, this forum is like going to RV University. Love it.

Just looked up the Go Power system online and was digging through the specs. If you have two of the 160W panels, Carmanah says it will...

Yes, that's true. I stand corrected. See, I always miss something. I'm also told that various battery monitors also alert you when they get too low, and some can prevent excessive discharge.

So,...

Some Power Estimates -- Escape 17B/dual 6 Volt Batteries/Compressor Fridge

An example: The 12 Volt fridge I’m considering has a draw of 4.4 Amps. This only happens of course when the compressor...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking after Jim's comments. A cleaner look and fewer holes in the shell -- I'm all for that. Also, the fridge would probably not require as deep of a cabinet. If the...

Yeah I think that's right. As long as there is a lower intake and an upper exhaust of some kind, it could vent to the interior. Some of the smaller models are "self venting", i.e., they have their...

A good point. Maybe the manufacturer can let me know if any vents are needed. I'm going to try to convince Reace to install the NovaKool instead of the Dometic. Hey, he's done custom faucets, why not...

I think you're right Jim, but since the vent would already be there, I assume it would help dissipate any heat from the compressor. As for the noise, I think you're right also, but these newer...

Well that settles it! Far be it from me to hinder scientific discovery. :rolleyes:

As for the venting, yes, they would use a similar venting system as their propane counterparts.

Looking at potential AC/DC replacement fridges for the Dometic RM8551 4.3CF, which I know many of you have, and which we also planned to add as an upgrade on our 17B.
