Subject:Re: Dometic replacement

The questions begs, why would you want to replace one absorption fridge with
another? Three way fridges just don't hold a candle to the electric 'swing'
compressor type, which the DC-0040 is. The compressor fridge will run up to
four days on the auxilary battery, a week if you store a 100-a/h deep-cycle
somewhere, like under the seat. The compressor fridge works SO much better
in the heat than the three-way units. Turn it on and forget it until you get
home.
I'll never go back to a three-way in my vans.
