As far as fridges go, I run an 80lt waeco. Great fridge. If you are going to use from camper power, make sure you guys run at least 2mm wire

The Tekonsha brand had a lot of problems in the early years with brake lights coming on over night and flattering batteries and could possible be related to the problems that some CRD's are having with intermittent power loss.

I personally believe in brand names (so to speak) they are the companies that have invested in the R&D.

It's a bit like saying, I shouldn't buy my recovery mounts from 3dogs, (even though he has done R&D and had his products tested), because his competition maybe cheaper.

I believe in the old saying "you get what you pay for".

it comes down to research as i think you will find alot of stand out brand names are keen on " marketing " and alot of the time has little to do with the product itself

LOL.... You took your time finding that.

Sorry I disagree, modern marketing has dictated a lot of what you have stated.

Fact is, if it wasn't for the pioneers or other companies that are willing to spend money on R&D there would be nothing for the other companies to copy.

lol was late last time i read it as usual lol but so what your saying is no ones ever pioneerd a design to then have another improve on it.

Normally no, much easier to copy.

I'll keep quiet about copies, but they swear they designed and did all R&D, At the end of the day all is BS they just copied

Yeah I run Tekonsha P3 but I also did put it through a 30amp relay so as to avoid any battery flattening problems etc so its only on when the ignition is on & as it saves your settings you don't need to reset it every time you turn it on, makes life easier for me.
As for fridges yeah they are all much for much once you get the temps sorted, I run a waeco 50LtrDZ & had it for couple of years n just keep it on bout -6 deg as I've found this works well in all the different compartments & run it on a 105amp/hr Big River I think its called just got back from the Cape over all corugations n tele track, straight through to Bathurst n back up to nthrn NSW n alls great.
Got P3 off good ol' Ebay over $50 cheaper than all shops round me & its only 4 wires to hook up so you don't have to be a scientist..LOL
Hope your setup works well no-matter which way you go n all the best with your future travelling.
Cheers Tony
