They work OK if you have a steady 12 volt supply. A converter would provide that on shore power. The trouble is, the fridge will quickly deplete the battery(s) when off grid. To me, the cost isn't worth it because a dorm fridge would do the same thing. You could even use your old fridge door with a little thought...

I have an old original fridge (not original to my camper, but original to that era), working condition unknown, that I hope I can modify the door of it to attach to a dorm fridge door. |

Theresa, if worse comes to worse, you can attach the vintage door to a plywood cabinet door and leave the dorm fridge completely hidden. Dorms are usually shallow, so they fit well.

That was my other thought; the dorm fridge is a lot smaller than the original, so I think there's plenty of space there for a false door. I just wasn't sure how big of a PITA that would be to open first one door, then the real fridge door, just to keep up appearances. I'll have plenty of time to figure it out. |
