I have the RV25 works OK but has pretty high power use - I bought it for weekend use and for that it is fine but for longer use would be a bit power hungry.

The larger non RV range are great fridges - like being asked about and you would not go wrong with one - BUT not all Evakool fridges are the same.

I thought the RV Range was assemble in Australia??

Either way been happy with mine and purchased it because of the height. Re: power usage I find mine pretty good......my under performing solar panel get the battery back to fully charged each day.

Have been running Evakool Glacier 50L fridge for a few years now. Been a while now but from memory they run a Danfoss compressor which again from memory is used in the more expensive brands.

My fridge runs for about 150 days a year, has travelled desert corrugations and plenty of rugged, rutted tracks without issue.

In 35+ ambient temps in a black vehicle it draws about 20 amphrs/day.
