I have been using a ICECO unit on our boat for the last four seasons. During the off months, its powered down while the boat is in storage, during the winter in Florida, we use it as a freezer. The unit has run flawlessly on 12vdc and only pulls about 3 amps on around a 50% duty cycle (could be less, hard to tell when its running). I bought the unit because its a true compressor type. Highly recommended. For our camper van, we would not use the unit because we find a propane fridge/freezer is the way to go.

“Figured it all out by myself”. You mean YT showed you how to do it. You should have mounted the pump outside and not with the standard mount. The vibrations will drive you mad if you leave it attached to any sort of structure in the van. Also, you don’t need to hold the up button to switch modes. Just hold the settings button. Well done for giving Jim his credit too
