Basecamp by Mr. Heater AC/DC Fridge/Freezer Reviews
Bought this Fridge for my camper van and it's awesome. It is quiet while it is running and is well insulated. The power usage is minimal and I feel part of that is the top loading door versus a front loading door. The cold air stays in the fridge and therefore needs less power to keep things cold. Love the wireless display that give temp and power usage.........The price for the 63qt is great. I couldn't be happier. It is similar to the Whytner/EdgeStar/whatever clones but with a better controller board and some added features... Build quality and materials are top knotch. The wireless remote temp and voltage monitoring is cool and works well, no one else has this. Current consumption while the compressor is running is around 5.5 amps but seems to keep the heat out well. My testing was brief but seemed to indicate that the claimed hourly average current consumnption is possible (fully loaded cool day in the shade) I will update the review after some long term testing. Went with 4 stars since there are more efficient compressors out there like in the Engel/ARB/NationalLuna price bracket. For this price range I say it is top shelf. Only time will tell if it can stand up over the long term.
