Just thought I ask others what they think of the thetford fridges?

So far I have been reasonably impressed. The dial on the front is much clearer to see than the Dometic. The freezer space in the 160 litre is huge and much more usable than the 150litre Dometic. On Friday I turned it on at 8am and it had frozen water by 11.30am and the fridge temp had dropped to 1 degree. It has a better veggie area and more usable shelving. It seems to be very effective on 12v as well and I haven't upgraded the van wiring as I have previously. Overall other than finding it a tad harder to light on gas I'd say a marked improvement over the Dometics, but it hasn't faced a summer yet.

Agree with all of the above, even the speed of cooling down even on 12V. Had it too cold thinking 12v not very cold, susceptible salad vegs got frost bite! Now on 4 for 12v & 240V and 3-3.5 when on gas.
Kept our Icecream frozen for as long as it lasted on our recent trip to Wilpena, 30C most days!
