Just an FYI for those of you using your rigs right now.

We had out fridge quit the other day while traveling. The cooling plant in it just failed. On either electric or propane there was no difference. The tech checked and confirmed what I found. He then spent all day Monday trying to find a replacement for it. There are none, at least for the DNR 1292 New Dimensions 2 door side by side model, in the US. The manufacturer has none in the pipeline at this time as well as they stopped production of them during the down turn in the business. Now that there is a little bit of demand they are starting a limited run of them. This is not the entire refrigerator, just the cooling plant. It will take 3 to 5 weeks to get the replacement. There are no complete units available for 2 weeks as well.

Just passing this on in case yours fails as well. Be prepared for a significant delay in getting it repaired.
