Hi Barry
I got the fridge from a local company to me in Norwich: https://www.jpcdirect.com.
Cost was around £650.
I know what you mean about the power issues, our last van had 160w of solar panels on the roof and we never had a problem, wild camping with no hook up. Helga has 200w, and along with the lipo batteries I don’t think we will have a problem. Last week while testing it, the panels where running the fridge by themselves, not bad for early March.
The ITC also allows me to set up cut off points for the battery voltage, so at a certain higher voltage (ie driving, or solar panels) it will ‘super cool’ the fridge and its contents effectively storing energy in the food and wine, and if the battery then drops, go back to normal running, and if it drops super low cut off all together, saving the last of the battery.
