| Old vs. new gas fridge performance
Greetings Bob!
The two-year-old Dometic 3-Way RV refrigerator in my '64 Overlander is one of my favorite up-grade purchases. It is remarkable in its performance - - and it operates as well on 12-volt as it does on any other setting - - in fact it has only been used on LP less than five hours since it was installed. It has always kept the refrigerator compartment between 35 and 39 degrees.
My Argosy still has its original Dometic. It still will maintain consistent temperature while camped, but it is VERY sensitive to level and the coach needs to be nearing absolute level to get best performance from the refrigerator. Based on my experience with the Overlander, I won't spend much on overhauling it when it fails - - I really much prefer the 3-Way Refrigerator in my '64 Overlander.
Good luck with your refrigerator dilemma.
Kevin
