Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on the Dometic vs
Truckfridge (noise/vibration, lifetime, fitment, and power
consumption)?

My van came with a truckfridge, which after what I'd estimate as about
2 years of continuous use over 7 years total, needs replacement.  It
can't hold 40F anymore when the ambient is 90F or above.  I called
Truckfridge, and they said 4-7 year lifetime is normal, that for
compressor wearout, it's not worth repairing, and when new, it should
be able to hold 40F up to 110F ambient.  I really don't like the idea
of adding "replace fridge" to the list of 50,000 mile service items.

Is the dometic any better?

Thanks,

Alex

(Still dreaming of a marine cold-plate style system, so I could run it
while driving or out of the van, and never have to listen to a
compressor...)
