I want to separate my freezer/refrigeration from the spillover system. I got a Isotherm VE-150 for the frig side and planned to install in space next to the current unit. But the tubes weren't long enough and the extension kits do not fit this unit. So now I need to consider other locations.
So for the other 410 owners here who may of done this, where did you install the new unit and route the tubes?
So been a couple of weeks since i installed the new refrigeration unit. Installed an Isotherm VE-150, which is a pretty small system with a BD-35 compressor and a small evaporator with its own fan. Installed the compressor under the stove and there was JUST enough room to get it through the shelf opening, which was good as that shelf is glassed to the hull.
The manual thermostat the system came with was crap and wouldn't come on till 48 and that was way too high. So used the digital controller I was using for the spillover fan.
Controling the frig temp 35-39 and the freezer is 0-5 on setting of just 1 instead of 15-20 with a setting of 6. System appears to use about 0.5 amps more per hour than the spillover was by itself. And of course the freezer isn't icing up anymore.
