Refrigerators and life styles

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Good evening to everyone:

This refrigerator thread has been interesting. Points and counter points
offered by several members along with web sites to back up each others
opinion. Well done by all parties in the aproach.

Bottom line, forgetting ohms law and logic applied by calculators to the
tables, it really comes down to this as I see it. The question is; What are
my needs for my lifestyle? And how do I go about filling that need.

True, the RV refrigerator came out to fulfill a need and application and
still does for that matter. Then we talk about the basic "home style"
refrigerator and it's compatibility with travels. Lets remember that most
of us has had the ice maker in the Coaches since day one, and that is a
compressor run unit. No different, save for size, from the typical home
unit. And they still function very well.

So in installing the home type compressor refrigerator only means that if
you want to dry camp, you need to run the gen set or have enough amperage
to run the proper size inverter. The technology is certainly more advance
these days than that of yesteryear. Where as the time honored RV ammonia,
gravity fed units lend themselves to the original technology accepted in
the RV industry as being standard.

That said it still comes down to " the life style you have" and nothing more.

So to heck with point and counter point, both will work, that has been
proven. You just have to design the change over to fit your needs and what
it takes to run it.

All of this, of course, is just an opinion, and no web sites to back it up,
nor will there be.

Ding!!! round 2

Safe travels,

I agree with Bob and Ralph, in that every one has different needs. I
wonder if anyone had personal experiance with house style units. good
or bad. I have the origional unit in my 94 and keep it cool all the
time on my 50 amp storage pad. I think at this point if I was to
replace it I would use the RV type to keep my options on LPG fuel
open.But I still dont change oil like you guys. You did scare me
enough to drop 5 gallons of motor oil and replace it with fresh at
5000 miles ( old filter remained).

Just a little more than sick of the peculiarities of ammonia cycle
versus Freon cycle cooling devices and their respective energy
requirements
I think I will stick with ice fits anywhere easily moldable and
resusable for drinks and showers
have a great day
