Karl,

are you saying that the Truckfridge is esentially a Vitrofridge (but
cheaper) ? How much cheaper are we talking ?  In their page it says
$479 (plus shipping).

I remember reading in your webpage that Vitrofridge has a Danfoss
compressor, but don't see anything in the Truckfridge website about it.
