The Nova Kool R4500 AC/DC RV Refrigerator is a quiet, highly-efficient AC/DC refrigerator/freezer using the sealed Danfoss compressor. Sealed compressors are ideal for use in refrigerators since there is no way for lubricant or refrigerant to leak out of the compressor - the motor is designed to run in (and be cooled by) the refrigerant being compressed. Danfoss (Secop) BD-series sealed compressors use a brushless, variable-speed electric motor mounted on springs to prevent any vibrations from being transmitted, and with a muffler to minimize suction noise. The compressor pumps the CFC-free R134A refrigerant through the refrigerant circuit at 2000-3500 rpm, depending on the cooling load. It’s a compact, rugged and maintenance-free design that uses very little power and is almost silent, which is why 12-volt refrigerators using this compressor are so quiet and efficient.

Nova Kool refrigerators are high-quality products made and supported in North America, by Nova Kool of Vancouver, BC, Canada. Nova Kool stands behind their products with a 2-year warranty.

Documents: Nova Kool R4500 AC/DC RV Refrigerator

From the manual:

"Installation into the cabinet: Nova Kool publishes its cut out dimensions so that the unit will slide easily into the hole. The dimensions allow a little extra space so that the unit can be shimmied into place as well as providing extra air space behind where required. On most models, the mounting screws are installed and covered by supplied frame plugs (see bag with owners manual, ice cube tray & frame plugs). Flush mount frames and frame kits do not use screw covers."

Please ensure that you are using the correct cut out dimensions that relate to the type of mounting flange on the fridge(see below). Mounting some models flush require an additional 2.5” for the depth and 1”for both the height and the width than the standard units.

Note from the manufacturer: 

The R3800, R4500, RFS7501 ,and R3100 models do not have flush mounts. The frame the door is hinged on is also the mounting flange. Once mounted, the door will stick out proud 2.5 inches.

The R5810 and the R1200 models have semi flush mounts that of the door if you have the depth.

The spec sheet link above gives the depth difference on those models.

Still running strong after 9 yrs

This fridge is much larger than the usual fridge you find in camper vans. It is really meant for folks who plan to cook on the road, eat fresh food and want to store more than beverages. In the 9 years we have used this refrigerator, it has never failed. From sub zero to over 100 degrees, we are able to keep the food temperature just right with minor adjustments of the control knob. The only issue we have, after many years of use, is we now have to push in the bottom of the door to make sure the seal is tight. We will be using this same fridge in our next van and are glad to see it is still available.

Excellent Service, nice fridge

Great service. I needed a specific delivery window and was accommodated readily. Minor shipping related damage was also resolved quickly with a single, friendly phone call. Oh, the fridge works great too. Nice upgrade for 4x4 Roadtrek, combined with solar makes for worry free boondocking and occasional hotel days too. More food storage than old 3 way too.

Thank goodness for the pre-cut insulate! I had a couple extra pieces from the kit. So I cut them up and filled in a few places. I had a good pair of sharp shears that I struggled with and then I also tried to razor blade or two. All I can say is buy the pre-cut package!

Both items were cut perfectly and glued down flat. We’ve had no squeaks or movement from the flooring or subfloor over the last 2 years. Clean up is as simple as a vacuum or sweep and water beads up on the 2tec2 and doesn’t soak in or through it. It’s not the cheapest option but for the time saved on the install and the fact that we’ve had no issues with it, I think it was worth it.

We are installing the fabric now, and it’s working very well for us. We really like just having to do one gluing step. Corners are harder to do because of the thickness, so we can’t fold two layers together. But it’s easier to avoid wrinkles on the flat surfaces.

Love the extra protection these fender flares provide on my Metris. Also, they look fantastic IMO. If you're super OCD, you might not like the way the edges of the flares do not mate up with the body work of your van as the double sided 3M tape makes them raised about a 1/16th of an inch.
