    Do people use multiple shore power plugs?

    The UK leads are 240v 16A which you can then buy an adapter that converts the 16A Plug to a 13A 3 pin domestic plug that has a 13A fuse in it, With my Camper/Van I have a 16A Socket outside that is joined to a leads that is wired in to an RCD Board with 3 X 13A Sockets on it which is also Fused...

    ARB cords and fridge mods

    It is because the Secop/Danfos compressors are shock mounted is the reason why they have sold over 10 million of them and the compressor models I listed are used in Refer Trucks to 4x4 fridges so the BD35F fitted in your ARB is the best compressor made, All the previous Dometic models also have...

    ARB cords and fridge mods

    Regardless of what ARB are saying the Secop/Danfos compressors should "Not" Clunk, Niether of mine do it and never have, These compressors are Shock Mounted so this should not be happening, Both my 47L and my 78L never do this and I have picked them up and shaken them and they still won't do...

    Yeah I have never seen a fridge suck power like the snomasters, I saw one of mine pulling 109w from a new deep cycle battery and I hate the rattling compressor every time you hit a bump in the road, Even their little 35L was pulling 99.7w from one of my batteries, without a powerful charging...

    Even Engels fail and like all brands be it NL Engel or ARB or Dometic and Snomaster will have failures, Failures are not brand Specific, ARB are just as good as engel or National Luna, I have seen every brand fail, Just because someone pays $2000 for a NL does not mean it's not going to fail 3...

    Warning re Jackery product quality/design

    There is no reason why even the cheapest of fridges can't last, Even cheap domestic fridges last 10 or 15+ years I got one here now, So just because you didn't stump up the big bucks means nothing, If you look after it it will look after you. and Even the best fridges fail. Carry that 78L...

    Warning re Jackery product quality/design

    I tend to look after my gear which is cheap insurance in the long run, My ARB 47L/50Qt is five and a half years old and my 78L/82Qt is 2 and a half years old, Like anything if you look after it it will look after you.

    Sounds like the compressor has broke loose inside, If it is still under warranty I would speak to Dometic here on the forum, even if it is not I would still see if they can help,

    Inside that Case would of protected it from such a fall so I don't think you need to worry, But when ever it is not in the Case, place it on the floor in the vehicle or if it is outside sit it on something just above the ground and do the same with the fridge so neither of them can fall more...

    I love all that testing stuff, No one makes a proper Mil Spec power pack and I am not sure if too many folks would stump up the Cash for it anyway, In the US they would and I would but the rest of the world wouldn't, and the PLB-40 is about the only one that offers some Level of protection and...

    Warning re Jackery product quality/design

    Yeah well their choice of Lithium cells are a little more hazzardous compared to LiFepo4's, Another thing I notice is Jackery use 24Ah/21.6v to achieve 500+Wh where as Dometic use 40Ah' 12v to get the same Wh, Forget all the specs for a minute, The Jackery has 8 open ports exposed to the...

    Dave this is part of what I meant about the PLB-40 ticking all the right boxes, I have been checking up on and there is a DATA Sticker on the bottom that lists that it is UN38.3 Compliant and a few other important bits of info too, and I have the PLB-40's Safety DATA Sheet and the Bureau of...

    Warning re Jackery product quality/design

    The Dometic PLB-40 is the better product for quite a few reasons, There are many good Power packs out there including the Jackery's but they all miss the point as to what these products are about, Which make the PLB-40 tick the right boxes for our intended purpose. Also Jackery have some very...

    The Ups system is where you plug in both power leads and if the AC power fails the DC power takes over until the AC power is restored and then it switches it's self back on to AC power so your food does not spoil. If you plug in both leads with the newer CFX3 range you will Kill the fridge, So...
