Hey Mozza,

See that's the thing. It got a little wet whilst we were setting everything up. I never actually got to run it from gas prior to that point. Tested it at home on 240v and worked a beaut. Got all excited, told Priscilla (SWMBO) to expect some nice cold cheese and dips and then next day, cheese was at a not so cold 19C.

Fingers crossed for this one.

I didn't leave it exactly out in the rain, it was under the tarp but on the side so as not to be in the way. After the first rain when we were still setting up, I noticed that it had got some splash from the ground and some drizzle from the wind blowing the rain around. Don't see how to stop this and still follow the "don't have indoors, keep 10cm away from anything else" rules. It needs air convection to work and if I leave it in the fresh air, it's likely to cop a LITTLE wet.

I've replied to level below, but yes I've taken steps to ensure it's level. There's a pic in my profile of the stand, although not a good one.

Cheers.

As you may have expected my friend, I'd love the pics. Send me a mem message and I'll give you my e-mail address.

I've already got the fan and was going to install to assist the 12v side. Hadn't figured out the wiring of the fan to the 12 volt plug without messing with the cable.

As for level, I built a custom stand with screw in legs that I can get VERY level (with spirit level).

Thanks heaps,

Jason.

I was there Wednesday afternoon around the time of the storms. Was there a sexy, shiny silver, Rodeo parked out the front of the store?

I've heard the "we've not had trouble with these before" plenty of times. I didn't even bother going in first, I rang them, said I'm coming to swap the fridge, it's a dud and do you have one in stock. Fortunately manager had answered the phone and arranged a replacement.

Smocky ,
I can't remember seeing your car . I had a silver Cruiser parked out the front with two aerials and a budgie on the bull bar . I spoke to the guy ( you ?? ) giving the unit back when he was at the counter and he said it was just a copy of a Chescold (I think ) so it should work .
Was that you Smocky i if it was we are old friends !!!!
Cheers ,
Willie .

Hi Willie,

nope I don't think that was me. Would have been nice to have met someone from the forum, but there's always another opportunity. I don't remember talking to a female shop assistant. Just the guys at the back of the store. I wasn't in there all that long, but it was a bit hectic with the weather.

I'll catch you at some stage.

Cheers,

Jason.
