Hi,
@Boots in Action might be interested in your fridge for spare parts.
I was on the knife edge when I bought the Penguin in 2016 as to whether to take the standard three-way absorption
fridge or upgrade to a two-way compressor fridge. I decided to go with the flow and take the three-way.
If I had to make the same decision today, I would have a two-way fridge, roof-mounted solar, portable solar,
and 200Ah of batteries.
Having said that, since I already have a three-way fridge and I have invested the time and effort to install and
use it properly, it works adequately and it is just not worth the expense to swap it out and add the extra panels
and extra battery. That decision is mainly due to being both tight as a fish's ... and bone lazy.
If we intended to spend a lot of time camping up North over summer, then I would need to do something. Undecided
as to whether I would swap out the three-way or put a 50l portable compressor fridge-freezer in the car to supplement
the three-way in the Penguin.
But I don't need to worry for the moment since Dictator Dan won't let me go camping and use the toilets and showers
and Anna the Great as well as the other wise leaders from WA, SA, Tasmania, and the NT have wisely determined to keep us
infectious scum from NSW and Victoria where we deserve to be until we clean up our own back yards.
take care
Mike
