[QUOTE="Choppa, post: 72055, member: 2849"] Stevo, We use a 80lt Trailblazer fridge freezer, 3 inch insulation & 2 mm checker plate casing, tough as old boots & made in Qld for Aussie conditions. It is a fridge you can leave in the open & doesn`t need a rug or cover to insulate it. In the Tvan camper we have a Bushman fridge freezer which can be adjusted to go from 35lts to 52 lts with 2 different lids & a collar, it is also an australian company & runs ever so quite using around 16amp hrs per day @ 25 degree ambient. Had a 40 llt Engel & it rattled all night , bugger all insulation in its casing & used more power than todays technology fridges, the engel design was for Europe & if left in the open in northern Aust just won`t cope. I know that there will be a kick back on this but trust me we have lived in the bush for 48 years & know what suits us in high temps , not just camping out for a few weeks. Got a mate out near OOdnadatta who has finally got rid of his Engels in the stock camp van & upgraded to Trailblazers. We run 180 watt solar & also have a honda 2kva if we need to kick the 200amh batts in the van & have duel 100 amp in the tug patrol ute. Hope this gives you more choices in the hunt for something to suit your needs. Insulation is the big factor. National Luna is another good outfit. :) [/QUOTE]
