I have the grey MS 45 Engel in my 4WD had it for a few years now i think they are more efficient now than the old ones
having said that pretty sure the older motors were better they were made in Japan dont think there made there anymore
wouldnt go away without the Engel now no more eskys with ice

Mate of mine picked one up from a road side collection its 40 years old still works
you really need a separate deep cycle battery to run the fridge in your van
