great with some oddities + tips for van builders

This fridge has been working fantastic for us for many months. (I'll update this suggestion if it fails.) Of course you're comparing fridges, so here's my conclusion: I haven't used Dometic, but I'm sure they're fine. I believe they are made in the same factory as ARB. ARB just got slightly better ratings for the fridge and customer service. Engel seems to be a great brand too, but they're more Australian-oriented and reportedly difficult to renovate in the US. (Unless your trips are limited to

What you need to know about ARB

Me and the camper at off-grid locations for at least 100 days every summer. I have a 37 liter that I use as a freezer and a 50 liter for the fridge. I am not dissatisfied with ARB. I rate "good" but it has caveats. Do not use the freezer to freeze food; it is used to store previously frozen food. You have to measure the "real" temperature yourself and then adjust the setting. When it's filled with food, check the top and bottom. The top will be much warmer. There is a setting to calibrate theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Coolers and Fridges
Cons
  • It's OK

Considerations for those working in RVs for long periods or not using zero/solar energy.

We have had the ARB for about a month and it is working as expected. (My dear friend bought it, so I don't appear as a verified buyer). We bought it to use in our RV/adventure van for camping/surfing/mountain biking. We connect it to our Goal Zero Yeti1250, which has its own 150W stationary solar panel for charging. We rarely stay in built-up campgrounds and mostly do off-grid trips. The ARB works great and cools as expected from a 12v cooler. We have just returned from a 2 week trip using theโ€ฆ
