[RE-wrenches] portable freezers

[Dan Fink]

Nick;

Sorry, can't help you much there. I have a couple decades experience in 
RV types that involve propane plus 120vac and 12vdc, no experience in 
the new stuff.

All I can say is that Peltier Junction cooling is very inefficient. 
Using electric heating elements instead of propane for an ammonia based 
system is awful too.

If it's compressor based, you should do OK. I believe Edgestar is. Not 
sure what the other folks are bringing out for products.

Just avoid Peltiers and ammonia + heaters systems electrically--easily 
100 watts for a tiny RV fridge/freezer....propane is cheaper -  I was 
trying to figure out CF of space vs. cooling capacity, but it 's too 
late at night. ;_)

Maybe I need to look into one of these new compressor based things for 
flyfishing vacations....specs are showing me 65 watts for a 48 CF cooler.
