The fridge/freezer is an amazing product. It is virtually silent and is very efficient.

We are using a 12/120V marine fridge, that uses a DanFoss compressor. They are very very energy efficient and don’t need to be vented like a propane fired one.

My fridge is the original Dometic 211. Luckily both my parts and rebuild rigs had fridges because I had to Frankenstein them together; mostly the trim/door pieces.

  • Dometic 211
    3-way fridge; propane mode can last quite a while DC setting can drain a big battery in less than a day

We have a teenie tiny 12v fridge that is 7L.

Pib and Stef's 2001 Mercedes Benz Sprinter

We chose a compressor model because it consumes much less electricity than other versions and does not require gas or complicated equipment. The installation in the column was very easy and we just had to re-cut the door.
