Why the query Baz +Eve?
Are you building or renovating a van?
We had one problem with the Dometic 90L fridge in our Eagle camper - on inverting it to remove "for repair", I fixed it. It was the common RM2360.
Whatever unit you look at getting, if you are heading for the Tropics, consider adding a shade cloth shade over the exterior vents (a piece of shade cloth, a piece of sail track fixed above the top vent, two bits of rope (top & bottom), a piece of 5mm dowel to hold the cloth in the track & two tent pegs does the job. ALSO fit a 12v computer fan at the top & bottom vents - the bottom one to blow upwards, the top one to suck the heat out.
I'd suggest you ask the local service agent(s) for issues.

Hi again Bas + Eve,
A few decades ago I had a 25-30L Finch fridge. Had the 240v element pack it in once, inverted it a few times to recirculate the ammonia solution, then had it repaired by a company at Dry Creek (Adelaide) - it was better than brand new.
I assume your son had chosen a 3way so that he can run it on gas in remote areas. A 12v fridge (with battery & charging system eg solar) is far more efficient but can be expensive.

Have a larger 180 litre 3 way Thetford fridge which is excellent. Used it all over Oz in all temperature conditions and it has performed faultlessly on all 3 power sources. Very happy with it.
