Fridge and freezer options

G'day sugarcane campers,

I would look seriously at the evakool, as you say it is great to have the option of fridge/freezer or all fridge or all freezer. Something a lot of the other makes don't offer. The twin thermostat has to be an Aussie first never seen that anywhere else.

I like the thick insulation as you stated we live in a hot country and the evakool does not need an additional insulation cover. Good insulation means the fridge will not have to work as hard to maintain the coldness a big plus in my book when you need to conserve power.

my next fridge will be an evakool.

Two sons purchased the Engel 60 lt dual compartment, single lid fridge/freezer. We didn't like the one lid idea though so we purchased a new Engel 40Lt from a 4WD shop and a second hand Engel 21 lt through ebay.

For short trips we run an Engel 40 lt. For longer ones we add a 21 lt Engel as a freezer only. Works well but you need the extra room and battery for sure. Only two of us for the long trips.

More flexibility for space saving when most of our trips are weekend trips into the VIC high country. Plus if one breaks we can find an alternative rather than not having any fridge as is the case with only having one fridge. Broke a power cord once in the Kimberley. No fridge for a day.

And having the extra space in the freezer annoys the hell out of our mates when we pull out an ice block in the deserts.
