As it ought to be...that's just under twice the size for just over 2 1/2 times the (claimed) capacity...

My basic problem with all the electric fridges is endurance, or lack of it. How about an engine-driven cold-plate system? Not cheap, but lots of cooling capacity and would be able to deal with a hot van interior, unlike the absorption and thermoelectric units. Even then, you couldn't walk away for several days and have it be cool when you come back.
