Works great , and i have been running tests on power draw.
LVD is great.
Not that an ARB isn't nice, Square and a programmed LVD on solar and engine was the kicker..

LVD?
.
 
Sorry ,, LVD and LVC or LVR is Low Voltage Disconnect , connect , reconnect ,

Same as my Inverter , Mine is set at 10.9 for the disconnects , because there house (or separate from the trucks starting battery) ,, If only one battery , 11.4 should be the disconnect voltage in my thinking.Reconnection is set at .6 volt higher .

Thanks.
 
I'm giving the Edgestar FP630 a try. I have a NorCold (63liter) but it died on me and is getting fixed by a local appliance place.

I bought the Edgestar because the price was right ($578 shipped) and I wanted to give it a try. It's all the rage at ExpoPortal supposedly.

So far I've only used it on a 2 day trip to the local mountains here in New Mexico.
 
My edgestar died on me the first day offroad. Not sure why. They have a great return policy and the company was great to deal with. Overall a good experience except the thing dying on me. It was a dirty clothes hamper for the rest of the trip.

Beno good luck.
 
VTCDAN,

I purchased the fridge you mentioned in post 7. Mine does not seem to be working right. The LVD has three setting. Lo, Med, HI and I can only get my fridge to stay on the low setting. The LVD thinks my battery is below the Med, and Hi settings. I have not looked directly at the battery voltage but the thing cranks every time.

Thanks

Just to bump this back up with some more data on the Edgestar:

I've done 4 trips with this thing, the longest being 3 days.

I would not recommend this fridge for other than things like:

1. Day trips/picnics
2. Weekend trips
3. Non-hot days

This fridge is a nice "starter" fridge is what I would like to call it. It works for the price that you get it at.

The build quality is ok. Not great--I've already rattled screws out of it, broken a handle, and broken the DC cord (not fun trying to fix).

The customer service has been good in terms of trying to get me the parts I've broken, but not great. The first time I called to order a new handle (within 30 days), they sent me an AC power outlet. The second time I got the handle, but it was the wrong handle. I tried getting a new DC power cord but it is back ordered for at least 60 days. So I made my own.

In the heat, the compressor just does not handle hotter ambient temps. It would cycle consistently, then stay on and still not keep things in the 33-45 degree range where I like things to be at in a fridge. The NorCold never had issues with this.

In the end, this is a nice 2nd fridge to have around the shop, or for weekenders, or for fall/winter trips where the compressor doesn't have to stay on for long periods of time because of cooler ambient temps.

So, I'm still waiting for my NorCold to get fixed.....:rolleyes:
 
thanks for the follow-up beno. I'm on the fence about a fridge purchase right now considering i'm dumping a ton of money into my motor rebuild. But i will get one eventually.
 
Purchased a waeco and I can not get it to work in my truck for more than a few hours.
It works on AC power all day long but in the truck in DC not so much. Not sure if I have a
low voltage problem or not. The truck starts every time so not sure. The build quality is head
and shoulders above edgestar.
