I have a Dometic Model RC 160A cooler that I bought new around 1989.
120 VAC 50/60 Hz @ 0.65 A
12 VDC @ 6.5 A
Propane: 300 - 450 BTUH
�
Works great.� I keep it just behind the passenger seat, just like the newer units.� I usually plug it into AC overnight before a trip.� Then while driving I plug it into 12 VDC RV battery.� Once at a camp site, I set it up with a larger propane bottle outside in the shade.� It works better than my Dometic fridge in�my 1986�Westfalia GL�camper.� It is an absorption style technology.� I have had no issues with this unit since 1989.�

I would say for $75.00 it is a bargain.

It looks almost the same as this unit:

Subject: Dometic Cooler

On Craigslist here there is a Dometic chest type cooler that runs on AC, 12
volt and propane.� Is that likely to be the same system as in the Westy -
that is no compressor?� From the outside it looks like a chest type
portable cooler.� He wants $75 for it.
