Hi Tony,
Thanks for your advise. I am confused after having emailed Dometic, getting redirected to the SA "distributor", (a caravan
shop), and having the guy there assure me that there are NO climate class ratings for Dometic fridges. "They are all the same", and the installation is the important item. We all know that, don"t we.
I picked up the latest Dometic brochure today, and find that their fridges have "Performance enhanced cooling units--designed and manufactured for the harsh Australian conditions". I can't see any reference to there being a choice of any climate classes ! My 13 year old model label says
mine is an "N" class.
I have not yet seen a current 90 litre fridge, but intend to see some asap. I really would like to be sure that there really are ST rated fridges. I was disappointed that Dometic gave me the flick, and that as a consequence, I might have been misled by the local SA dealer.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I was told by another member that there are retail outlets (other than expensive caravan shops), that will sell these fridges for better prices. The best I have found thru' van dealerships is $1349. I would also like a comment on whether I should/could fitted myself.
Heres hoping I can get some good info from members.
Thanks Barry
