Engel MT80 84qrt. Refrigerator/Freezer

I know there have been multiple threads on refrigerators and freezers, but I was wondering if anyone has this brand and size on their Joey bed plugged into both the 12v and 120v bay plugs.  How does the size suit you, and what do you like and dislike?  I'm looking for a low power draw, durable and accessible bay freezer with auto switching between 12 and 120 volts.  I'd like to know if anyone has real world experience with the performance and manageability of this size unit over time.  Thank you.

I have had a 40 qt Engel for about 20 years now.
Bought it to go off-roading in the land cruiser. Have used it both on 12v & 120 vac.
I have never had a problem with it.
Now we use it to bring food that we have made to the coach.
We do not carry it on the coach.
Lots of other brands now that you can research

A good friend of mine and fellow Foretravel'er installed one of these last year and is happy with it. I bought one last week and he is going to help me install it this weekend.

We need the extra freezer space for long trips. My dog eats frozen raw food and it's easier to take it, vs. finding it along the way. I also do a lot of cooking. I vacuum pack and freeze. The freezer will get a workout.
