Is there enough usage history for 12v refrigerators to say one is better than the rest?
I'm looking to replace my Dometic 2652 6 cu. ft. with Dometics "direct replacement" Dometic 8CU FT 12V DC COMP REFER DMC4081.
We don't boondocks and run 2 12v deep cycle batteries so I don't believe the 12v will pose a problem.
Anyone have any recommendations on the best 12v refrigerator to buy?

Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

We installed a 12 volt compressor cooling unit in our Dometic 2862 refer, best thing we have done. Very consistent refer and dresser temps.

I have 12V Dometic 10cu. Runs good on Max setting only. Getting parts are a BIG issue.
