Re: [VAL] 12 volt refridg



Dan:
    The DC only frig is a Novakool R4500; 4.3 Cu ft with freezer box. 
Has a one yr warranty, two yrs on parts. Cost me $690 + shipping from 
Canada (manf there). Consumes 35 watts when compressor runs; under 3 
amps 12 or 1.5 amps 24 volt. See :
   www.backwoodssolar.com
They were very helpful to me. The key is insulation and ventilation. It 
doesn't come on a lot but that will vary with conditions and use. If 
you have little kids that are in and out of it constantly, you'll 
probably need to tow a utility trailer with banks of batteries! Good 
luck.
