The refrigerator seems to have its own weak point, the gas/burner and controls of the unit.
When they go out we all start looking to replace and maybe go with electric with an inverter.....
I am wondering if anyone has thought about using a thermoelectric cooler / heater.

It has been used on coolers successfully for awhile now, uses 12vdc and could probably be controlled by a simple temp controller.
When our old frig goes out, we have the box we need, replace the old cooler with this at freezer level. Might need more than one, depends on the size of the frig.
I have a cooler in the GMC that uses one of these and it has operated flawlessly, no gas concern, no inverter concern and keeps my sodas and sandwiches (  ) cool while on the road and in easy reach distance.
Just wondering what the popular opinion might be.
