We're going to really take this thread to "organs" and "it's going to blow". I think Les might shut us down!
Dave, that's a Waeco refrigerator/freezer. Dometic bought Waeco a while back, but they're still nice units (when Dometic can't beat someone, they buy them). They make 12v or 110v/12-volt models I have the 54-quart model and have been using it for years as our "chest freezer" on the boat. They're very, very efficient. I think mine draws about 4 amps when it's on. My solar panel keeps my 315ah bank charged to no less than 85% on the trailer-trip from MD to FL (26-28 hours) with that and my refrigerator running. At anchor we wake up with about 70% left with both of them running along with the other power we use at night (lights, anchor light, head, etc.).
