Sandy, & Jeff also,

You will not regret getting it. On your first outing you will wonder how you ever got along without it.

If I was 40 ft I would have one.. Hard pressed for room as it is with a filled up 36'. Good for you.

We installed the 100lb Dometic and it stays full!  Best decision ever!

I have one in my HR Navigator and will be taking it out and installing it in the new FT before I sell the nav. I had never had one and now that I used one I can't imagine living without one!! The one I have you can adjust the temp from fridge to ice cold and it's huge! We only have the 36' and I am bummed about loosing some basement space but I think it is worth having this in there :) Thanks for sharing!

My dog eats a raw frozen diet. Finding it on the road can be a challenge sometimes. This way we can take enough for a long trip.

I also do a lot of cooking and smoking - vacuum packing and freezing meals for two. We have a local butcher that we love. We can now take most of the food we need. This way we only have to buy fresh fruit and produce on the road.

We have the 12 volt or 110 model that can be used as either a fridge or freezer ( mostly freezer ) and you'd  have to pry it out of my DW cold dead fingers. 
  You just can't always find the things that you use on the road and if your ice maker gives up there almost vital.

I always wanted one. Everyone on the 2019 Alaska Motorcade had one for fish. We were signed up to go again this year, so we happily snapped up a used one we found on the forum. Love it.

Got to get one of those, unfortunately, since we own a Baskin Robbins store Lori will have it stuffed with ice cream for our friends ( old and new). Won't be able to take any real food. However I will admit ice cream is great trade bait. Camp hosts always remember us.
