I looked at something similar a few years back but ended up buying a bigger upright unit. If the size is right & the seals are good I don't see any problem. Evakool is a reliable brand.
Issues to consider - Flexibility. This is not a unit intended to be taken in & out of the vehicle at camp, if you want to do that one of the chest portables are better. This is better for 'built in'.
- Whilst it may not need a fridge slide, the weight & size are probably similar to an equivalent sized chest fridge & slide. Cheaper, & possibly a little lighter, but at the cost of
flexibility
- easier to add extra insulation to than a chest unit. However 'traditionally' this style of fridge has been made for truck cabs where they are run for many hours of the day/night
with the truck motor running so *may* not be particularly well insulated because power consumption is less important that convenience of use?
