It is also the other way around.
It is people who spend money on new stuff that bash the older one.
For me if my Dometic fails, I will consider compressor fridge for sure, but I don't see enough advantage in it to spend $1000 just becouse.

Sooner or later somebody will have the same problems with compressor refrigerators.
Each job can be always done in several different ways, but the only thing I have to remember about absorption fridge is to turn it night before loading.
Other than that I have rock hard ice cream.
Is compressor fridge coming with circulating fan?
That is only other issue we face when we pack the fridge.
That reminds me situation with automotive market.
People have been jumping on new cars as having Bluetooths, GPS, high-tech stereo, active CC and blind spot assistance - only to find that very complex technology can leave them stranded and with empty wallet down the road.
Now the old cars are gaining value ๐

Frozen lettuce, warm meat, and a whole host of totally unsatisfactory refrigeration.....that's why I bought a compressor refrigerator.
And mine runs quite well on solar panels. I'll never go back to an absorption fridge.

I bought my Tundra compressor fridge from a marine supplier in Seattle when I lived in Alaska. It may have been Sure Marine Services. I remember the price being quite good. Check the marine suppliers, they have a variety of small compressor fridges.

Side question, what is with bashing of amonia refrigerators?
When I understand that compressor has its advantage in speed of cooling or working off level, I have been using amonia refrigerators for 30 years and they work just fine.
I posted my test a year ago how well My Dometic is cooling in 125 F weather.
I actually liked the old designs, that would work on propane with no outside power.
This way when I was leaving RV for long time, the master switch was turned to off.
One less thing to worry about.
