I am impressed with the 40 year old original. My door seal can be an issue, but if you push it back in place, it seals up nicely.
when my thermostat went bad, and could not shut if off without pulling fuse, wires, ect.. with the replacement thermostat I installed. So it has been running non-stop since May 31st up until when i pulled it out yesterday. fridge was at 48 degrees.
I could get some decent time out of the batteries, if I planned. I would keep ice in the freezer, and in the fridge, and you could get alot less running of the compressor. Batteries would stay charged longer.
the solar helped, and another few watts might make it better. But I also noticed that when the sun is out, the solar works better, but it is hotter outside and in the coach, so I am sure that is somewhat counter productive.
and another thing I finally noticed after 4 winters of using the coach for hunting. The original fridge lower vent, is wide open to my exterior fridge vent. you get alot of cold air blowing in that bottom of the norcold.
