I saw one today at a camping store. It doesn't look tall enough to stand 1.25L bottles in. It would pay to check. The one I saw was $1600.

We have an 80L combi SS. Works quite well.

Drew,
I have one - only criticism is that it is heavy - too heavy for me to lift in and out of the fourby when full - but of course that is a function of size. I leave it secured in the car. Got into trouble with SWMBO when I froze some tomatoes which were in the fridge section when running it on high during a long drive - figured I would save on battery when we stopped. Beer was great though.
I run mine from the camper battery. Installed heavy cable and Anderson plug going to connect the camper and had the auto lec install plug in vehicle using that wiring to avoid loss of power.
I think mine was a bit under $1500 at Olbis in Brisbane.
Why did I buy one? Because my old Engel is still going after 18 years and I needed a bigger unit with both fridge and freezer. Doesn't mean the current model is better than the old one but you feel comfortable buying on experience. I could have just bought another smaller unit and use the old one and it as fridge freezer combo but figured that needs too much space and power.

Gday Drew
We have had one for a couple of months and on a 6 week trip, did not miss a beat. Actual capacity is less than 60 L due to the seperating wall. The boss thinks that it is fantastic (which makes me happy). Having a seperate freezer and fridge section is great and if you store veges away from the freezer, all is fine. I would certainly recommend the purchase. Also seemed to have more usable space than the 60 L Waeco.
Cheers
Ray

They are a boomer, mine kept the ice cream frozen in Innaminka in 55 degree outside heat, God knows what temp it was inside the car.

Thanks everyone
I am convinced that it is the right way to go - now I just have to see how much I can screw anyone who sells them down on price - or put it at the top of my Xmas list.......
