We owned an Indel B compression fridge (also branded as a Truck Fridge) when we had a truck camper. We ordered it from Equipt. It can act as either a
refrigerator or a freezer depending on what temperature you set it at.
Can't say enough great things about this fridge, and we're scheming to rip out our 3-way Dometic in our
Escape and replace it with a Danfoss compression fridge as soon as we have the time to do it. The 3-way Dometic we have now isn't trustworthy when the weather is warm, no matter what mods we do to it.
We chose the Indel B over the other compression fridge options (Dometic, National Luna, Whynter, etc) because we felt it was the best value for money. Equipt also has conducted tests side-by-side of different compression fridges and posted results, so we were confident that the Indel B would do what was expected.
The pro to these types of fridges (over a dorm fridge) is that they are so, so energy efficient and run off either 12V or shore power, whatever you want, so you can keep it operating when in transit. Our Indel B used around 3 amps/hour. Combined with our 200ah
battery and 200W of
solar we had in our truck camper, we never needed electric hookups and that was pretty awesome
Miss that rig... but alas, we needed a bigger camper!
If you tow with an SUV or a truck with a backseat, a lot of people keep them in the vehicle. You can plug it in to the vehicle when you're in transit, and you can run an extension cord to plug into the camper or shore power when you're at a campsite. That way you don't have to lug it around.
