Lewis, My built-in 12V fridge has a freezer box inside it. It was pretty easy to install and works very well. However, if you’re not spending a lot of time at the dock, keep in mind that a fridge will probably pull up to 10 or more amps at any give time. I think mine pulls about 7 when the compressor is on. I have a fairly large bank of batteries, but certainly can’t keep it running for long periods of time without running the engine running or shore power charging to keep the system from bottoming out.
I have not had a need for a microwave, but we do have a small coffeemaker. We also use the propane stove top often, but have never used the oven other than for storing pots to be used on the stovetop. I’ve often considered removing the oven, adding a large amount of storage, then installing an electric cooktop. This would also give me added storage in the starboard aft locker as I’d no longer need propane tanks. Doubt I’ll ever do that, but it’s fun to think about. Maybe if the oven/stove breaks…. Is it just me, or is something off when Dave Risch uses the word “reliable”? https://youtu.be/0WKRIDnFDls <https://youtu.be/0WKRIDnFDls> All the best, Edd Edd M.

Fridge, propane stove, microwave, one of those coolers thats a fridge/freezer. Obviously the fridge and microwave would be dependent on shore power and we do not spend a lot of time at the dock, so what do most of you have?
