    Go to compactappliance.com. I bought an Edge Star 63 qt fridge/freezer (either or). Cost is $548.25, no tax and free shipping. It runs on 110v or dc and automatically switches over with loss of ac power. I keep in in an unventilated bay and it maintains set temperature. I've had it now for six months and works great. It's larger than the Norcold and about half the price. You won't be disappointed.

    This is of interest to us. Does anyone have experience with the Edge Star or other similar unit in the bay of a Prevost while in the south during summer? I am wondering whether the unit can cool itself while in a closed bay and maintain temperature when outside temperatures may approach 105+ during the day (southern Cal desert cities such as Palm Springs and Indio, or Phoenix/Tucson). I realize these conditions are extreme, and no one may have that experience to relate, but ..........

    Thanks.

    I have a Norcold-100 Lb. portable and it will maintain 5-10 degrees in the first bay which does not have a vent,this is in the south east.

    I had a refrigerator in the entertainment bay (now SpongeBob has it). It would maintain temperature in the hot Texas summer, but it had a thermostat actuated vent with fan (in the floor of the bay) at the back of the unit. We didnt use it and replaced it with a larger cabinet and flat screen TV.

    I'm located in Louisiana. My bay temperature has been 100+ degrees many times and the Edge Star maintains temperature at zero with the bay closed for weeks at a time. It is an unvented bay.
