home made fridge

Hi Eric
Great that your wife is going to the LD, its a good drive although it it will be dry
& Dimboola was a small quite town when I was there last.

Not sure about the fridge set up but I have an "Evakool" RF model which is there great esky with a Danfross unit attached externaly on 1 end and inside a rectangular coil at the end with a slide inserted it works as a fridge & freezer.
Maybe a danfross distributer could help although I could not find any in the y pages
on refridges or air con
Do you remember where you say the kit ?

Hi Eric
Waeco has these kits , i have seen them in one of their leaflets .
Cheers ........Dave

Yes there are a few companies who do the kits with the Danfoss compressor......
Have seen one work very well with the EvaKool esky (Fibreglass), so I guess that's understandable, as it would be very similar to the EvaKool fridge setup. (They are great)
But would it be cheaper??? I doubt it. Probably only worth while if you already have an appropriate esky and want to convert it.
Try a search on the internet for Danfoss and with Waeco and Vitrifrigo.
Cheers

thanks guys , a great start . Yes I already have a very high quality ice box that I purchased for the boat 3 years ago , so my thoughts were to try and purchase this unit for aprox 5 to 600 , would be alot better that 1400 to 1600 for a 70 L fridge lol Venus Bay

I looked at the kits here in Bris last year and they were over $600 then.
That was for the Evakool set-up, so you could take a look at the Evakool web-site.
They are very good for fitting to boats etc but you might need to spend another $300 or so for a suitable (Evakool??) esky.
The RF47 Evakool that I bought sells for about $950 (if you haggle a bit) with a separate freezer section.
All big money but as others have said "you remember the disappointment of a cheap inferior product that failed, far longer than the higher price you paid for a quality purchase" (or words to that effect).
Might not be worth building one when there are a lot of great products on the market for a similar price.
Although I don't know if anyone has built one into their vehicle.....
