I was wondering If any of you guys gals with 12v Fridges have ever noticed if the Compressor Rattles when you go over a bump when you are Driving on the Blacktop,
The Reason I ask is because I have owned 2 Snomasters, The 95L Expedition model and the 35L Leisure series and both of them do it
The ARB 47 and 78L don't do it and nor does my little Dometic CDF 18,
The little Dometic cycles similar to the 35L Snomaster where they will run for 3 or 4 minutes every half hour +/- but Boy does that little Snomaster Suck the power, I have seen it Draw 91 to 99+ watts while running, All of the Snomasters regardless of the size all use the Snomaster 66 watt Compressor which I call BS when it is sucking 99w while running on AC,
The Snomaste 66 watt compressor is just a bit smaller than the Danfos BD-50F Compressor which is the biggest one fitted in the ARB 78L, All the others have the BD-35F, Yet the BD-50F uses between 30 to 60w +/-,
But back to my maid concern is when you hit a bump in the road or move the fridge you can hear the compressor Rattle, So can anyone tell me if Any of the Engels or other brands rattle when your on the road or when you move them, ??
thanks in advance, J. :Y:
