Hi All,
Just taken out an absorption fridge from our van, as was very old and had no external air input/output or external exhaust for the burner, and combined with the expense of a new unit, fitting these would have been quite expensive. Plus they would have been behind the sliding door, which could have been a tricky fit, and greatly reduce their effectiveness whenever the door is open (as often as possible!).
So, have now stripped out the gas pipework and am planning buying a new DC/AC fridge to replace. I get the impression that a compressor will use less power than an absorption, but can't seem to find any categorical answer. Any info gratefully received.
Also, it seems 12v compressor fridges are more expensive, and a bit deep - most seem to be around 500mm and I really need about 400mm?
