RecPro 10 Cu Ft 12V RV Refrigerator | Black Frost-Free Fridge with Freezer | Double Door, Adjustable Shelves, Reversible Door, Built-In Lock | 23.5”W x 26”D x 59”H | Off-Grid & Dry Camping Ready

I could not be more pleased with this refrigerator. Everything went smooth from fit to finish. The fit was perfect from the Dometic DM2852 to this 12volt RECPRO. And, the install went so smooth - my Sandstorm RV had the 12volt wires already in-place and tapped into the chassis ground which was used for the 110volt connection on the old Dometic. Once connected it fired up and worked flawlessly. My Sandstorm already had a solar panel on the roof and that tied in with the existing 12 volt wiring which was already in place with the Dometic. I've been testing/watching the meter with my 12volt batteries and they are holding up about 2 days without plugging into AC power for the camper. Surprisingly, these batteries are original to my camper in 2018 (6+ years).

Installed this a week ago to replace the propane/110 v/12v original Norcold refrigerator. So far it is keeping everything super cold at the medium settings. I love not having to deal with the gas and smelling the fumes when traveling. It is deeper but narrower than the old frig. I used the extra space on one side to create a broom closet. I still need to make the door and do some trim work.

Unit will not maintain temp. One hour it is 33 degrees next it's 49 degrees. I've lost several hundred in groceries twice now.

We installed this at our off-grid, solar/low voltage cabin in the Rockies to replace a Grape Solar fridge that died after about 8 years.Compared to that, this is a much better product - I just hope it lasts longer.- Nice quality: glass shelves, separate freezer, designated spaces for cans, and a light inside- It is very quiet - very low noise.- Starting at 70F inside (and outside), it took 3.5 hours to drop the temp to 36 degrees before the compressor shut off. It was mostly empty except for a few cans of soda inside. So 9.5F per hour empty is a good assumption.- It takes roughly 80 watts (+/- 5) when the compressor is running.- I would estimate a 50% run rate at 70F external temperature. For example, it turned on at 12:52am when the fridge was at 40F, and turned off at 1:21am after dropping to 36.6F. It next turned on at 1:55am.- Given that run rate, I'd think it takes about 960 watt-hours per day in a 65-70F setting (without door opening losses)- Wide voltage range - will operate down to 10.5 volts, which can be helpful.- While the documentation says it can have an a starting current rush of up to 20 amps, we did not see that. We have it on a 10amp marine style DC circuit breaker that never blew.- Our wiring from a buck converter regulated to 12.3 volts (our solar/battery is 24V) is maybe 6 feet of 8awg, 25 feet with 4 conductors - a pair of 10awg and a pair of 12awg in parallel, and another 6 feet of 12awg at the end. I'd estimate our voltage drop as 0.6, meaning we have 11.7 volts at the fridge with the compressor running.- The fridge has 3 terminals for wired connections - plus, minus, and ground. No wire included.I'd add that this is very low power consumption compared to your 3 way RV fridge. Our Dometic 3cf 3 way we have in our camper takes like 150 watts when running 12VDC. Until we put in a DC-DC charger, we got less than zero charging from our tow vehicle's 7 pin connector.

great product, very reasonable price, looks very nice, accurate measurements listed

It fits in the hole in my RV that other brand came out of. I like that it has separate controls for freezer/fridge temperature. It seems to use same amount of power as my old fridge that quit if not less power. It's miniscule though.I love the magnetic door close vs latch. I don't know if I trust the door lock for travel mode. (Maybe i dont under dtand how it works?I pulled on the doors and the latch slides open. Stuff might not fall out, but if the doors crack open on travel, then the compressor will work harder. Easy enough solution. I can secure it for travel mode in other ways.My biggest gripe would be how it secures in the opening. Screwing to RV cabinet trim is a no go on any late modle RV.The fridge that I pulled out, had 1/2" of trim that left a mark on my cabinet trim. This fridge exposes that.This is the second Recpro product I've put into my RV. The first was a roll up sliding shower stall door. Now this fridge. I'm definitely a fan of RecPro over the other brand.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's not super efficient but it works just fine.

The refrigerator arrived and was delivered efficiently but when the technician unpacked it we discovered it was the wrong color. We ordered a black refrig, which would match the rest of our appliances, but received a stainless steel one. Due to the availability of the RV tech who was doing the install and the fact that we were departing for a trip, there was no time to return and replace it. It was very disappointing. As far as the install, the refrig fit perfectly into the opening and provides additional interior space for our food. We will now have piece of mind that we can run the refrigerator constantly while traveling as it's connected to our solar power. As for maintaining the correct temperature, we will update this review in a few weeks as we will be traveling and staying where the temperature will in the 90° range for most of the trip.
