Portable IceMakers

[FarmerChick]

bought one, Emerson
for my camper.....wee...out from under the ice lords....haha

darn bags of ice are starting to cost some bucks, especially while camping I use like 15 bags on a long trip.

so I got one and it is cranking out bullet cubes as I type.....seems like this will work great. being in a state park on Friday for a week at the beach and this sucker will come in super handy.

anyone have one?

I installed a Wallmart apartment size refrigerator/freezer in my road tractor to finish out the full kitchen I installed .Powered it off an inverter 12v-110v. Invested about $800 in whole deal . Saved about $7000 a year on the road as opposed to truckstop meals . Fresh food cooked the way I wanted it , when I wanted it .
Never saw a straight icemaker . Give us more info .

Good deal! Ice makers are very sensitive so keep that water filter clean!

I googled emerson portable ice maker and found it. It's electric but portable. Run between $100-$150 depending where and when. Good and bad reviews.

smart to eat your own meals vs. processed junk all the time...good for you!!!!


yea this Emerson is a standard portable (cheaper model) icemaker.
Plug into my camper. (I have a big travel trailer with slides)

I have to say after about an hour to get cold, good sized large ice was cranking out. little 'loud' when the water refilled, but it faded into the background fast and I ignored the sound.

yup it has good and bad reviews but mostly good on the RV.net forum I chat on....tons of camper people have them and love them and they last many many years....so that is good...hope I got a good one made on a good day LOL
Cheaper model because the machine is not a freezer. Some more expensive ones will 'hold' the ice as a freezer. Mine doesn't have that feature, it cranks ice, I use it in my cooler or baggie it into my freezer in the camper. what melts will recycle back into ice cubes so that is a good feature. tell ya tho, handy little sucker

dried it up, boxed it up and into the camper cause I leave for 8 days at the beach----AND WHAT WILL I be doing?

METAL detecting of course...wish me luck for the big diamond ring!
