How are Novacool fridges? w/ Danfoss compressor / RFS7501

Hi all

The biggest fridge that Hallmark will install in a 9.5’ pop up camper is the 7.2 CU side by side. Novacool RFS7501. It can’t be a fridge taller than this one, as the roof pops down….

Pretty sure we want a 12v / 120v only fridge…. so does not need to be level at all, ever, and also we never need to worry about changing modes on the fridge (12v / 120v / propane)

How is this fridge? Anyone have any experience with this fridge, or brand? This model uses a Danfoss compressor.

Yes we want this much capacity for extended off the grid adventures, with lots of fresh food with us.

That's a lot of freezer and frig space. No knowable of them but 4.4 amps on 12 volts for that size sounds good. My Domentic 130 liter draws more than that.

Just an FYI

- Nova Cool Manufacturing (British Columbia) was founded in 1976 and was purchased by Thetford Corporation in April 2018.

- Thetford also owns Norcold Refrigerators which it bought in 1997.

Dometic, Norcold, Vitrifrigo, IsoTherm, Indel B (Truck Fridge) and Nova Kool all use the Danfoss BD35 (Danfoss is now Secop) compressor on the 28 qt or larger refrigerators. Some of the smaller refrigerators (less than 28 qts) use the Secop (formerly Danfoss) 1.4F Micro compressor.

The following article is worth a read before making a purchase of any refrigerator:
