Small Freezer
John Padmore:
Thank you Joel, I was looking to purchase an upright model.....thanks.

Joel Ashley:
Most I've seen go with the chest freezer - it is more energy efficient, especially for an RV. Robert alluded to that in his post.

John, The dimensions I gave you are for a CHEST type freezer. We take it out when we get back from Alaska trips. I have not seen an upright one of that size, but thet are probably available. Henry
Joel Ashley:
They make a smaller one, but if you can make this one fit in your W/D spot it would certainly be a better investment given its capacity. Be aware that manufacturers' stated capacities are virtually always inflated beyond the real space inside. This one may be about as close to what you want as you are going to get, John, (Henry said initially his was an upright, but apparently not):

I think you can get it through Amazon, but finding one while on the road in Alaska... not likely; that said, we were in an outdoor/hardware store in Soldotna that carries quite an amazing array of food storage options, so if you are there be sure to shop and ask around - you never know. If you go Amazon, be sure to get there via the Amazon portal on the BAC Home website.
We don't need 200 lbs of fish hanging around the house (although we gave some away to relatives on the road before getting home in 2003), and if I was taking the RV up there again I planned on putting one of those Dometic or Engel 3 c.f. portable units on a slide in a bay. They ain't cheap, for sure, but are more moveable and energy-efficient than the Haier units, and the fish aren't in the living space ;) . I also consider a couple of modern super-insulated Coleman coolers as an option; total cost-wise they can't be beat, and dry ice goes a long way we discovered. If you're smart you carry dry ice with you anyway; you don't need a bunch of fish thawing out if your electric system goes belly up in the boonies.

John Padmore:
Thanks for the ideas folks. I think I will choose between a Haier or a Summit after seeing them......Thanks.
