Trailblaza fridge

Just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with the new Trailblaza fridges with 125mm of insulation. Trailblaza claim they are 20% more efficient than the original 75mm insulated jobbies.
I know they are large and heavy but this is not an issue to me.
The fridge I am looking at is the 70 litre.

Any comments (except to buy another fridge) appreciated.

Regards

Bart

If they are an improved trailblaza, they must be awesome, they are the best frdge money can buy in my opinion. Ours is about 10 years old i think and has travelled extensively, you can run it safely over night with no need for second battery to start the vehicle.

Hi, I run a 60ltr. model & have had it for over 15 years without any problems what so ever, so all I can say is if they have increased the insulation wall thickness then they must be all the more efficient as far as keeping the tinnies cool. Cheers.

Our 70l Trailblaza would be the best accessory we have for our 4by..... I have the standard insulation, the 125mm can only be better, but don't know if its warranted. But if you have the room and the money..... why not??? :-)

toymn8r,
Purchased an 80 litre model with the 125mm insulation in September 03. Cost was $1764. (Approx.) Fitted with temperature gauge, voltmeter, quick freeze switch and slide off lid. (lift lid partially and slide off, good for height restricted areas) The reason i bought the trailblaza was a friend has had a 100 litre one for 10 years plus and it has been on some very rough tracks and never missed a beat. I have not used it in the wild (so to speak) as yet, but will in August. Use it as a fridge/freezer at home at present.
Cheers
Bros.

I can echo most of the above Trailblaza stories - happy owner of a 60 litre for just over 10yrs, it's spent virtually all that time in the back of a 60 series and now a 78 series, never let me down.

Cheers
