Costway Fridge - IH8MUD Forum
WEBJan 10, 2017 · YMMV, but a freezer is normally set 10 - 20 F degrees below freezing at least and the fridge temp is about 5 F degrees above 32. You can set this fridge at any temp you want, but IMHO, there isn't a compromise setting. Tom - KJ7KGG -. '94 FZJ80 / list of mods. Three Feathers 'Trail Head' off road trailer.

WEBJan 10, 2017 · Looks like the High and Medium voltage protection on the fridge trips when the compressor tried to kick on while the vehicle is off. The Low setting seems to work. I'm guessing that there is an instantaneous voltage drop on the line when the compressor tries to kick on. The low setting will let the fridge run down to 11.2 volts I believe.

WEBAug 21, 2018 · Below is a screen shot of the fridges behavior, only about 30% full, in the back of my Land Cruiser: I also replaced the Costway 12v wire and the 12v socket on my power panel with the above-mentioned ARB units. The old Costway plug was loose fitting and would fall out of the standard 12v socket in the power panel.

Fridge prices have gotten ridiculous - IH8MUD Forum
WEBMar 3, 2017 · My Costway fridge has finally reached a level of annoyance that is no longer acceptable. It still cools and works just fine, but the compressor sounds like a cowbell when going over any minor bump. I've gone so far as disassembling the unit and pulling the compressor, but the compressor itself is completely sealed and not serviceable.

12V compressor fridge not starting/staying on. Thoughts?
WEBAug 12, 2021 · It's running fine with engine on, BUT with the engine off but circuits on, it will NOT start properly, even in the Low setting. From looking at an inline voltmeter, it seems that the voltage in the back when various circuits are on is only about 12.4V and much less than that when the compressor is starting.
Battery Replacment Recommendations | Page 5 | IH8MUD Forum
WEBJan 3, 2018 · My fridge is set with the "high" cutoff meaning it's super sensitive to voltage drop. I have the Amazon "Costway" fridge which is a little less efficient than the ARB/Dometic equivalents. It is also $400-500 less. Keep in mind that I never unplug my fridge and it's been in a constant on state since January.

Dual battery set up - IH8MUD Forum
WEBApr 28, 2008 · Messages. 917. Oct 19, 2015. #1. I've looked at several Dual Battery setups. The National Luna was the front runner for ease of installation. I've seen some not so glowing reviews in my reading in Mud and wonder if Blue Sea, HellRoaring or another brand may be better suited. Any input is helpful.
