The wiring tails that came with the fridge were not heavy enough.i had to replace them with a heavier loom directly to the batteries. No problems since.

I used to use a 12v compressor fridge, it cost about £600. It Used 48w Running. I now use a domestic mini fridge from British heart second hand, running off my efficient 1500W inverter and it is the same 48w consumption ! Just buy an efficient low standby current invertor and save tons of money.

I've got the very same CRX50 and aside from the dreaded voltage fault, it's been running perfectly. It maintains a chill 3c whilst drawing hardly any amps, my 200w solar panels being more than enough to keep it running all year round. FYI as I discovered the CRX50's do have a common fault, after an indeterminate amount of time (8 months in my case), they will stop working and all the lights will start flashing. The solution is simple, replace the 12v supply cables with 6mm thick cables, with an inline fuse, direct to the leisure battery. Not sure why this happens, but it's been running a-okay since.

Obviously avoided Santa’s naughty list this year, so you got a great present - you could even say it’s a really cool one ❄️❄️❄️ Your happiness on opening the box was clear to see, and then it evolved into a Cinderella pantomime as “it fits” 👠👠👠. Was that just luck with the dimensions or designed that way to eventually fit the fridge when you got it? Remember heat rises, so would it be better to push air in at the bottom with the fan and exhaust it behind the drivers seat? 42 Watts at 12 Volts is 3.5 Amps.

Hi Mel, I've been thinking about your condensation problem. Not your's specifically, but for all van dwellers. Seems to me if you used your woodstove until you went to bed, reallt firing it up, and then using a little ceramic heater all night at a low setting, with a window cracked, you wouldn't have condensation. Seems you have access to house power a few feet away at present so you wouldn't be draining any batteries.

Can this be used with propane? You use electric, how does a van use another battery for 1#bolts to operate fridge.

You shouldn't lay the fridge horizontally as oil can leak out of the compressor, if it does get tipped over or laid out horizontally you should allow a few hours for the oil to drain back into the compressor before turning it on.

Merry Christmas Mel! Nice install that. I know how eye wateringly expensive these fridges are, have they over over the ability to operate on a slope of any kind? The one in my old R.V. wouldn't run if I was parked up without it being one what level..... The 1st time it happen I was in a bit of a panic! It was quite an older model, so perhaps it not and issue any more.... Cheers, Jack 👍
