being taken out of an RV (caravan, trailer, whatever) and installed it because the cabin was 100% solar 
electric - it made the jiuce last a lot longer.

An aunt of mine had a gas powered 'fridge in her kitchen - they used to be available here, but I haven't seen 
one for ages.  The only weird aspect was the little chimney coming up through the worktop, which you had to be 
careful not to touch.

I used to have an electric absorbtion 'fridge, but they don't seem to make those these days either - I wonder 
if they're less energy-efficient than compressors?  Or do they need the now banned CFCs?

Cheers,
