Yep' heading out. Bob was broke in on Janes Res as a young pup a year or two ago-maybe 5 years a go. My neighbor is splitting wood right now,  yep my wood is in-not stacked but later, come on up, time to play! Hot , in Suzieville, no fires, life is wonderful, as long as I keep the cat from taking out Bob to the bars at night !

Smoke,

In answer to some of your questions...

The setting dial inside the fridge goes to zero. There is an audible click when you turn it to that. Let's say you are on a trip, the fridge is on and running off of your camper battery. You pull into an Oregon State Park with 120 electrical hookups and plug in the camper. The fridge will automatically switch to the 120 and not draw off of your battery. You unplug in the morning and head out - the fridge automatically switches back to 12 volt.

 

If we sit still for a few days, our fridge temp may vary up to 10 degrees due to ambient temps, coldest in the early morning and warmest in the afternoon. With it set at 7, it will easily freeze everything overnight. I try to keep things in the high 30's, so turn it to when going to bed and 7 when I get up. You will have to experiment a bit to figure out what settings work best for you.

Interesting Ted. I leave mine at one setting and it only varies about 3-4 degrees. Of course I haven't tried extreme heat yet. Kind of annoys me when its below freezing outside and I still hear mine kick on ;(

I cool mine and load it on 7 but turn it down to 5 or 6 once we depart depending on how hot it is.  Don't normally touch the thermostat once we're underway.

I turn mine on to 5 1/2 and just leave it there stays just under 40.

Yep, me too....set it and forget it.

I never see http://sportfridge.com/home on these sites. 

Most likely due to price but I know a few baja guys that use them and swear on them.

The ones I have seen have worked flawlessly in serious Sea of Cortez style heat and humidity.
I am sure there ones with issues, though, and that is no small nut to put up on a fridge/freezer set up.
