ELECTRIC FRIG IN YOUR COACH? WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU

[Paul Carver]

Jack and Liz,

Our 1993 still has the original 20 plus cubic foot Amana electric side by side
refer. The upside, is the longivity and reliability (although we have
experienced the defrost cycle timer getting stuck a couple of times) [easily
addressed]. The downside, is limited dry camping on batteries only. While
driving, the inverter handles the load well. When stopped, we are limited to
8-10 hours on the battery bank. At that point you run the generator, travel
10-12 hours, or find shore power. Our house battery bank consists of 8, group
31, gell cell, 12 volt batteries, in parallel. The batteries are about 1 1/2
years old and we expected the replacements to substantialy increase our run
time. We have concluded replacement of the refer, with an energy efficient
model, would net that result. Obviously we will be interested in your
experience and solution.
