Two tihngs about the absorption cooling unit. If you have proper air circulation they work very well.. But alas too many RV's they are a tad too boxed in.> But the big advantage is they work on PROPANE when no power mains are about.. I really like my Dometic works very well. Just needs occasional defrosting.
That said as the world heats up, they may stop working soon as they do have a max ambient temp range of just over 100 degress. and we are now seeing temps much higher than that in parts of the world.
Compressor fridges also loose effience when ambient temp rises.. Same issues.
If (when) mine fails I will have to decide if I want to go all electric or not.. If I go all electric both Dometic and Norcold either have or had a compressor driven HIGH EFFIENCY option. Like the chest freezer next to me. These draw very little power. and work well.
