Bill,
“Scaramanga” has an Engle freezer or refrigerator depending on set switch position. It consumes 1.8 amps/hr on cool i.e. 40* F and twice that on cold. It will freeze your cokes if on cold even here in Florida. Its originality is in its swing motor ( akin to a solenoid with a return spring ) running a small compressor at high speed. Mine is now 5 years old and measures about 11" X 17" X 15" deep, exterior dimentions. It lives set down inside the counter where the stove used to be and the new propane Sea Cook on the port side bulkhead on gimbles. Our Engle is small and that is why it works so well. It been big enough for 2 of us cruising. These units come in 3 or 4 sizes. When one tries to keep too much too cold ( i.e. many cubic feet , the energy consumption gets out of hand. The wind machine, 2 group 30 house batteries and/or the Yanmar 1GM provide enough power. Prices go from 450 $ to 750$ US at a RV store, more at a marine store. Find a dealer :
