M Barone ... you're cutting a pretty wide swath with a pretty dull sickle with your proclamation about gas absorption fridges. I will agree that stick house fridges seem better suited for people that live in their RV's, but to blanket condemn them that they are fire traps, don't cool to satisfaction, and are expensive kinda pushes reality. Gas absorbtion fridges have been around for decades and have cooled many a RVers food needs. Fire hazard ... they can catch fire, but what percentage of the hundreds of thousands sold. Some may not make rock hard ice cream, but many of us are satisfied with a lower compartment in the 37- 40 degree range. Many times it's just bad installation that makes them poor performers. Cost ... perhaps a 18 cu ft fridge is half the price of a gas absorption, but you have to be on shore power to run it or have banks of solar panel and batteries, or a generator. Boat loads of us like the ability to run on propane and not be tethered to A/C power in what ever form.
I get you have a lifestyle that more calls for a compressor fridge, but lighten up a bit on how you portray a product that has worked for many many an RVer for many many a year. What's obvious to you may not be the best fit for others.
