The build quality was much better than the waeco, the only small downside for our scenario is the height. Its ~510mm high. That means we don't have room for a fridge slide if we want it to be under the bed in the car. I may end up just making it easy to slide out rather than a roller slide. As you can see we opted for the canvas insulated bag. It already has saved it from heaps of marks and dust, but more importantly protects it from sun and heat that costs battery power. We plan to leave it off overnight as it only gains a few degrees overnight.
In my opinion it's the best designed one in the market. It's controls are digital, has low battery cut out, has the best latch and most usable space. The lids, latches, lights, and location of the power sockets are just right.
We bought it for the trip, and our test trip, and when we go camping locally. We went to go camping with my brother, but when it didn't eventuate, we just pulled over and made bacon & egg sandwiches in the bush. It's immediately given us more freedom. The picture was taken at a big dirt clearing, on some fire trail just off Tudor Valley Road. The coordinates are below.

I'm sure you will agree that the best thing about a care fridge is that you don't have keep getting ice and you don't have to drain it of water.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your idea of turning it off at night, in principal. I realsie you don't have much choice. The temp will still be in the teens at this time of the year. I can loan you a good extension chord in case you stop at a caravan park.
