    I've kinda have become a collector of these 12v fridges. I have two Dometics (55IM and 25). Two Iceco's (Jp40 and Jp50). Two Engels (Both MT45's). And a BIG dual zone Snomaster 90qt Expedition Series. I have a trucking friend he has 3 ARB fridges. A 63qt that is 15 years old. In his Tacoma a newer 50qt. And in his Peterbilt a newer 82qt. I have other friends that have various Truckfridge/Indel B's, Iceco's and cheap Alpicool's.
    Fyi, Dometics are made in China. It's a Swedish owned company. But they manufacture in China.
    The only 12v fridge companies I know of that aren't Chinese made. Are Engel which is Japanese owned. And they manufacture in Malaysia. Snomaster and National Luna which are South African.

      Thanks for straightening me out The Dude🤙 Wow you do have quite a collection! What the hell are you gonna do with all of those? 🤣 yes, I suppose everything is made in China. I’m very happy with mine, that 55 IM you have has to be one of your favorites maybe?
      You haven’t commented in a while. I appreciate you checking in. Keep on trucking my friend. 😎

      @@SarasotaTim No my favorite is the Snomaster 85L Expedition series. All quilted stainless steel. Comes with a actual insulated bag. (All Snomasters do.) It's a different beast than most of these other 12v fridges.
      I seen them at a RV/4x4 show. I just went cause it was going on. Didn't know the fridge manufacturers were going to be there. Dometic was there. Engel, ARB, National Luna and Snomaster were all there.

      Wow, I had no idea the SnowMaster is certainly impressive and that 85L you bought is the big boy!

      @@SarasotaTim The Snomasters are a different beast. Designed to be ran in extreme conditions (Can run in 150 degree weather). Mine will have cycles of 90w or better. I ran it for three days in Fresno Ca with it on my aunts back patio in 110+ degree weather. It cycled normally. It froze water jugs in that time too. I like all the ones I have.
      I'm actually running two Iceco's in my Peterbilt right now. They are descent little units. They dont pull down as fast as the Dometics. But Dometics pricing keeps going up. I bought two Iceco's with 5 year warranty on the Secop/Danfoss compressor for the price of your 35. And they come with covers. Not as nice as the Dometic cover. I have 5 trucker friends with Iceco's they are having good luck.

      👍 they’re lots of RUclipsrs that talk about the iceco units, and yeah Dometic is expensive. Well you’re all set with fridges. 😎

    Can you please give me any idea about it?

      Depending on what you’re pulling from it. I used it to power a car fridge and it would last 3 days. 😎

    I haven’t watched all of your videos yet. Catching up. Nice Refrigerator. 50 Watts. Amazing Do you have pay TV in your camper? Or are you just going Off-Air? If you discussed this in a previous video, let me know which one it is. Thx

      I have a digital antenna on the roof that receives lots of air channels most are worth watching and of course my TV is a smart TV and my phone service is visible wireless owned by Verizon and I have an unlimited data hotspot that I turn on and can stream and watch RUclips whatever I want 😎

      @@SarasotaTim I have Visible too. I think I told you before that I am holding out on the upgrade until they kick me off. As, I need the multiple hotspot. You only get one device to use hotspot once upgraded on iOS. You have it made. No TV bill. And receive a plethora of content.

    • @SarasotaTim
      @SarasotaTim  Год назад +1

      Yes, what you said is true no more multiple devices on hotspot. I never did use that but it was cool to know you had it.
      The tv gets really good channels and with all those other apps who needs to pay for cable.😎

    How many watts does that take? I was thinking about getting one of those to put in my semi and use as another fridge could you use it as a freezer as well? I was thinking today of a great job for you. You said you were self-employed for many years. Well, you live in Florida and often go to the beach. you should get yourself a hot dog cart and sell them. There is a guy here that does it In the summer and he makes Bank. You could call it "Tim's Wiener's they are a mouthful" could be your slogan LOL CRUSH IT

    • @SarasotaTim
      @SarasotaTim  Год назад +2

      Yeah I answered all those questions in my video about the fridge. It runs on 50 watch and it will cool down to -8° as a freezer.
      License and permits are all required here in Florida to do that business. That was around in the 80s when I was in the car business, girls use to come around selling them wearing bikinis. 😎

      @Sarasota Tim sweet I think I am going to get one of those dometic's i think I would use it as a freezer. The freezer in my truck is so small really can't get a thing in it.

      @SarasotaTim  Год назад +1

      After getting my fridge in my camper to work on propane, much more economical than the electric I’m going to turn my Dometic into a freezer as well. You can really load it up and you can keep a whole bag of ice in it. 😎

    That was not a good review. You think you'd actually take the stuff out of the cooler?So you can see the size of it. maybe you could comment on how long it lasted on the battery. Did you have solar charging the battery wall?It was running the domatac refrigerator question? You mentioned it frozen case of water comma maybe you could have told us how long it took to freeze the case of water

    Does the Dometic and the Jackery along with the other junk you have in the back of the $47000 4runner with 24 coats of wax you have for sale come with it? JK 🤣😉😎

      @SarasotaTim  Год назад +1

      It would have except after 27 coats of wax. The price point would’ve been so high. I had to remove the fridge and the Jackery, but the other crap is still included. 🤣😎
