Jaros said:You probably should have 2 fridges if you have an extended stay anywhere. Power for them then becomes a problem. I have a combination of 2 x 45ltr. fridges,1 x 135AH AGM Batt. and 2 Deep cycle Lead acid batts + 160W solar panel to keep them alive.
Nightjar said:Standard procedure now when we head off prospecting. "Old Yella" 1983 - 39L Engel runs as a "freezer only" for our meat, other necessities stow in our 180L Dual Fridge/Freezer Engel.
64W Solar permanently fixed to cab roof charging 110AH deep cycle. Alternator tops up battery while travelling, when away from ute swinging for a nug or two, a portable 120W fold out solar wired in series is plugged in via Anderson.
***Many say Engels are too expensive*** If you compare our set up with that of my two mates, Old Yella, 1983 & 180L Dual, 2008 have outlasted 7 lesser quality fridges.
Needless to say money for reliability, we are many $'s ahead for fridges alone not adding up the amount of food lost and trips cut short AND less gold found. layful:

I was looking at that one but it is way too expensive and I saw one that got damaged during delivery that was on amazon but due to the complaints/review ARB got it took down, even while it was in it's box inside another box all the back end was smashed in, plus they start to look pretty scruffy fairly quickly after a few months in the bush,Jackthehound said:My mate just bought one of these and he reakons they are good.
