didn't Kathy just buy that 40 years ago?
the startup surge on these inverter compressors make em really attractive! |
That one's in the entry way, used for storage. She's got another crappy one that's just a bit newer.

fact: if you don't keep your food at 40f it may give you food poisoning True
fact: if you have a "real kitchen" you DONT want a flame in it in the summer...even a pilot light in a stove Correct
fact: most people use 120v electricity not 12volts in a "real kitchen" True, but the OP has a propane refer so his kitchen
may not meet your specs as a real kitchen. The reason I gave the 12v amps to 120v amps comparison is because 12v is common for a battery bank on
smaller systems and so it takes 10 times the listed amps on an appliance out of your battery bank to run that appliance. To be clear an appliance that
uses 2 amps at 120v ac will use 20a+ amps out of your 12v battery bank while it is running.
fact: propane has oil added to it...after refilling tanks over and over there is ALOT of oil in the propane tank that gums up stuff True

Larry, we spend so much time trying to out do ourselves that the original question gets lost.

You are right Ralph, I let him get to me. It seemed like the OP was trying to get his propane refer to work a little better and I was just trying to
suggest a low cost solar friendly alternative to gas refrigeration. Mine works so well for beer and sodas that I thought I would pass the info on.

I am glad I know nothing about this subject to join the catfight! LOL 
I remember my dad finding a Servel propane fridge after we leased a lot at Bahía Santa María (south of San Felipe) in 1972. It was a big deal back
then to have a gas fridge before solar power systems. My folks never built the beach house on that lot and in just a few years, the bay changed shape
and the houses built on each side of our lot were lost. That was about 1977 or 78, I think?

why send the poor guy down the WRONG road when we all know propane fridges are part of the past...
and don't work in the heat
aux fans are a lost cause...if they worked there would be a kit for sale to FIX the problem by now
they are kinda like steam trains or phone booths...or
dinosaurs
I attached a map for david so he would see what I mean : )

Positive! The houses built in the 70s and after that didn't wash away from moving sand are still just as far above the sea as always!

wonder what caused the houses built to be lost. shifting sands no doubt.

The old servel frigs still command a hefty price.....and work in the heat. But the new electric is cheaper if you already have solar power.
If you find any old servels in the dumping ground, let us know.

Is there a related site so that I can figure out the standard dimensions of the Samsung fridge? Math challenged I am attempting to see if it would
fit in my Dometics' space in my 5th wheel. Now don't ask me those dimensions as the rig is at Gonzaga.

so if the sand is always moving, how do you know that the elevation and distance remains the same ?

Let's keep this thread about solar/propane refrigerators. Important items when living away from 120 VAC.

thanks again to all those responses. I enjoyed both the education and the levity.
I currently have a MSW inverter and I understand the refrigerators do not do well with them,( the ceiling fans definitely let you know they are
running, HAHAHA). I could not find enough info concerning how well the newer inverter frigs work with a MSW setup.
It is my plan to upgrade to a PSW inverter soon. There are so many out there now that it makes my head swim researching them.
I have a Crystal Cold propane unit that came with the casita, no idea of the age, (wish I have a Servall...)
