Double Compressor Refrigerators???

Could we please be provided with an update assessment from those BOG members who are now utilising double compressor refrigerators?

Replacing our ageing refrigerator is getting closer and the double compressor models still intrigue us.

Bob (Turist) was kind enough to show me his double compressor refrigerator at the Mullumbimby muster and I liked what I saw.

Tassie Wayne also allowed us to look at his refrigerator.

I saw that Matthew from BTI - display caravan at Mullumbimby had a double compressor refrigerator and he was kind enough to advise at that point in time - BTI were not considering these refrigerators any further as the solar input was unable to match the power output of the double compressor refrigerators. (I hope I got that interpretation right Matthew.)

Some of the information we would like is stated below –

1. Type and model of fridge and your thoughts of the refrigerator?

2. How many batteries / type, in your van?

3. How often do both compressors operate at the same time?

4. What is the drain on power with one and both compressors operating?

5. How much usage of your refrigerator to date while independent camping away from 240 volt?

6. What climatic conditions has the refrigerator operated in, (performance in hot humid conditions etc)?

7. What was involved with installation, including wiring requirements?

8. How does the level of noise in the caravan compare to the single compressor?

9. What are the costs involved?

Thank you
