aren’t cheap to start with: Th e Isotherm
Cruise 36 mentioned above lists for more
than $1,000; a comparable Dometic CD-030
runs about $800. Add the installation, and
you’re looking at some real money.CARRY YOUR COOL
Th e older I get, the less complex I want
things to be, so rather than install a perma-
nent refrigerator, I might go with a portable
electric cooler, one that operates off both
120 volts and 12 volts, switches between
voltages automatically, can refrigerate and
freeze (some models can do both at the
same time), and can be taken home and
stored at the end of the season—or aft er
every trip, if you prefer. A portable cooler
still isn’t cheap—fi gure on spending several
hundred bucks for a good one, but that’s
about it. Installation cost? Zero, unless you
don’t already have a 12-volt cigarette-light-
er-type plug in your cockpit. Maintenance Companies like Indel-Webasto build residential-style refrigerators as well as smaller drawer-type units.
