Shane,

That Coleman is probably going to be the thermoelectric. I have one of those somewhere. It never did what I though it should. The compressor type like this Dometic should perform as well as that small fridge you put in the basement of your Redwood.

I also found Dometic also makes a dual compartment that will freeze and refrigerate (CFX series), but they would not fit on the Mor-Ryde side pull tray so it was no real use for what I was thinking.

your right about the Coleman it will keep things cool but not real cold. for trips to the grocery store if you wanted to stop somewhere on the way home it worked fine but for camping with it I ended up supplementing it with ice

We had the CF-110 in our 36RL that we use for Freezer space since the freezer in out 4 door Norcold wasn't very large. Ours ran on 12 or 24VDC or 115AC. Worked good, but if paying your own electric they are a power hog, sold ours once we had the MB. Last year with our 39MB and Residential package we cut our electric use almost in half.

Are you sure that wasn't your Norcold being the hog that pulls 6.7A on 110V?

The Dometic freezer/coolers uses the same compressor in all the models, which pulls .07A to 1.3A on 110V. They show the CF-50 requiring 15% run time in an hour, and the CF-110 requiring 40% run time in an hour to compensate for the size. That may be why yours was drawing a lot more than my CF-50. I never really checked my CF-80, which is 35% run time. It may be taxing my inverter a bit.

Probably a combination of the two, plus I think that Dometic improved the newer ones. We bought ours when we were still in our Montana, so it was 4 or 5 years old.
