upgrade

A year ago I purchased a new Montana that had a Norcold 2118 fridge. This is a big beautiful stainless fridge. While it is pretty, it didn't work very well at all. In 100 degree weather the freezer would be around 20 and the fridge 45-50. I tried adding fans and the door divider alignment, but the original cooling unit was never going to work well. It was pointless to try. Besides, it was also a power/propane hog!



I upgraded this to a 12 volt dual compressor cooling unit from JC Refrigeration. Today my fridge is rarely above 35 and freezer is always a little below zero. Ice Cream is like concrete. My solar system provides nearly 100% of the power required by the fridge.



I highly recommend JC Refrigeration.

cheers
Tom
