We purchased the fridge with the idea in mind that it would be handy at horse shows and on occasional hunting trips. The balance of the time it would most likely be a fixture in the garage along with an assortment of ice chests. Well, needless to say, not only has it been handy at the horse shows and hunts, but we can conservatively say that the two plus years that we have owned it, at least 16 of those months it has been running 24/7 while wired into our diesel pickup.

We use it constantly during the course of a week's grocery shopping, surfing, and any number of misc. reasons while going about our daily routines. The setting is kept mostly at 4 unless something requires being frozen or needs to be frozen, and then most often the setting is 6 or 7. I had to number the dial of the outer portion of the dial so that the numbers could be read. The ones on the dial's face were hard to read because of where it sits in the camper shell.

We do still use our smaller ice chests for added flexibility, leaving the SportFridge in the truck and toting the lunches to their final destination.

We've had no real problems to speak of. I did have to tighten the caps that you suggested, as one was leaking and the silver calking on the inside has separated in a couple of places; but other than that, it has worked flawlessly.

Because of its reliable performance and functional design, our SportFridge has provided us flexibility in our daily routines, at horse shows, and on a variety of outdoor excursions. If you were to ask us to go back to only using ice chests, we would have to respectfully decline. Your fridge has certainly exceeded our expectations! Thanks for a job well done.
