"could it be that they are not good hot climate performers?".....
Have had Vitrifrigo in our van since new in 1997. Got it for 2 reasons: 1. Reputation for good performance in tropics compared to "normal" van fridges.
2. Designed originally as marine fridge and could therefore cope with travel on rough roads, not being level, etc.
Have been totally pleased with it. We have spent a lot of time up north, in hot conditions. The most extreme example of this was 4 months in
Pilbara, Sept-December, and that got
well over 40 degrees a lot of the time. Van was not in shade. Fridge kept meat frozen in freezebox and all else as cold as we wanted.
Over the 11 years, we have had it regassed twice and replaced a thermostat once. Its van
home has been towed over 100,000km.
Don't think there can be too much wrong with them.......I would certainly not have any other type.
