[QUOTE="condor22, post: 610225, member: 1932"] What gets me riled is, I've weighed both my van wheels individually. The 3 way fridge is on the driver side of the van. The dinette with battery & charger etc is on the other side. The fridge side is 50kg heavier and there is no space to add more weight under the dinette. Then I put food in the fridge and in the pantry (also on the driver side) and I can easily see near 100kg more on the driver side. However, I got fed up, turning the fridge on 240 V a couple of days before travelling, then to 12 V to travel, then to LPG when on my mates bush block. Coupled with constantly checking the bloody temperature. My last 2 trips, I've used the Engel for fridge food n drink and the Brass Monkey set to -12 for the frozos and they travel in the back of the 4x4. The 3 way gets switched on LPG when I get to camp and the food transferred when it's cold. I might add, the 3 way gets colder quicker on LPG than it does on 240 VAC. For me, that's much less stuffing round as I use the vehicle fridge/freezer when I do the shop for the trip and it saves moving the food from them until I get where I'm going. :) [/QUOTE]
