Hola,

Thanks you everyone for your input. Sounds like I'm sold on the 12v route. Like I said in my first post, I'm all set up in the solar dept. and based on what others have, I'm good to go. I also carry a Honda eu2000 generator as well. 100% of my camping is done in Baja. Sun is definitely not an issue for me. Just heat. Most time is spent during the summer months. I'm really curious how these units react to hot weather. Do they struggle to stay cold like propane does regarding ambient temperature outside or will they stay cold according to the setting you set and just run more often, therefore using more draw on the battery? Hmmmmm...

It doesn't matter how hot it gets....fridge is always 36 degrees.....freezer ranges from -5 to 0 degrees. The only difference is how many times it comes on per day. Since you'll be in the sun most of the time....no worries. I have remote thermometers in the fridge and freezer so I can monitor temps without opening the door.

It's now just like my fridge at home. You can just forget it and enjoy your trip. The three-way fridge always had to be monitored....and it wouldn't get cold enough when it was over 100 degrees outside.
