Freezer Temperatures

hey out and about,
i have an 80ltr waeco fridge/freezer and have found -18 gets a good result for keeping the meat frozen solid and the beer nice and cold, without wreaking the lettuce.

there are so many variables to this. eg: insultation on fridge/car windows, outside temp, how many times are you open the fridge,

A and O
We have a 50CF Waeco which is several years old, so it doesn't have the temp gauge on it, it just has a series of lights and the more lights the colder the fridge.
So two or three days before we hit the trail the fridge is loaded with what ever, which has already been frozen, and turned up to maximum on 240Volts, then once we hit the trail the freezer is turned down a couple of lights, and that keeps everything frozen.
Having said that we also check the freezer daily to make sure all is OK.
Cheers

We have a Waeco 60 litre and run it at -11.

it keeps the stuff in the large compartment frozen and the small compartment stuff is cold but not frozen.

I thought they would be around the other way but however.

It has been running 24/7 in the annexe since mid November






.

-18 for deep freeze -- if you have ice cream and like it soft like from the ice cream truck -14

Before you leave --- Pack the fridge at MIN 2 days before and put to -18 if you pack it the day you leave - especially if the stuff is not cold - your fridge will run constantly and drain your battery

this is what i have found with my CF80

I've been running my CF50 in the shed for the past few days with outside temp in low 30s and fridge on -7. The large ice blocks are still frozen solid.
