Hi all - I'm making my final choices for my new Panther configuration and I'm down to choosing my portable fridge. I'm thinking Dometic CFX50, Engel MT45F, or ARB 50 qt. I have no brand loyalty, my budget is up to $900.00 - I just want a bomber fridge that'll give me years of trouble free service. I'm always boon docking, generally hit a grocery store every 3-4 days, and seldom stay in one place for more than 2 nights. I doubt if I'd ever use it as a freezer, but who knows? I'll have a side dinette in the Panther and I plan on placing it under the front window next to the seat. I'll have two 6 volt AGM batteries to power everything with a 200 watt solar system. I have no experience with portable fridges (or solar) so I'm looking for pros and cons or whatever tidbits of info to consider. Your idea's for placement for ease of access would also be helpful. I'm having a cabinet built between the rear door and dinette chair so I don't think it will be possible to place the fridge there. Portability is low on my list of priorities. I know there are a lot of TruckFridge fans out there but their 1year warranty concerns me.
Thanks !!
Thanks !!
