Re: isotherm refrigerator Vs norcold refrigerator ?

As warm as the compartments against the door get compared to the inside of the fridge I've thought about insulating the door face. Obviously over insulating the box would be the best method of...

Re: isotherm refrigerator Vs norcold refrigerator ?

Yep I was looking at the C115IBD4-F. They told me it was a drop in replacement for the 0041. I just wish somebody did a side by side AH check or average like Isotherm does. That would tell me what...

Re: isotherm refrigerator Vs norcold refrigerator ?

Sorry but you're looking at old info off the Norcold site. The 4E pulls a whopping 6 amps now @ 12vDC. SMB tested several, two of which were installed in my van. I was told all the other Sportsmobile...
