Refrigeration

A built-in chiller, a Yeti cooler and now an actual fridge/freezer!

I recently purchased a Alpicool C22 Refrigerator from Amazon. It plugs into 120VAC shore power at the dock and runs off 12VDC underway. It mostly gets 5 star ratings and I understand that customer service is excellent.

It plugs into 120VAC shore power (with it's own inverter) at the dock and runs off 12VDC underway. My hope is the solar cells will continue to keep the secondary battery bank charged with enough juice to keep the unit cold in the summer.
