Eric, got ours for nix in the deal of physicaly going to the fridgeshop and waving cash,,,,80lt + cover + converter $1023.....recomended retail a stubby short of $1700 ........ the actual convertor runs the unit at 24v not 12v ....has the provision to connect battery at same time in case of 240v power failure,,,,ergo the answer is yes,,, any battery charger that pushes out 6amp true will run the waeco,....what price a batt charger ???

Me too, ordered it today & should arrive in SA on wednesday, if you find out about the adapter I would like to know too.

However a great number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Did a search on the model number & came up with this site @ $95 http://www.caravansplus.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=394

The adaptor that Evakool pushes, is cheaper than the Waeco one, and puts out 12v instead of 24.

Just remember that its the big 90 litre fridge here with a quoted power consumption of 70 watts. No use getting an adaptor that won't hack it.

Check out this link. It gives you various small and easy modifications to make to your fridge to suit your application. I have changed the operational voltage of my fridge by taking the "low/high "battery switch out of curcuit and installing a 220k ohm resistor which means the fridge will run from 9.2 v to 31.5v. I then used the "low high switch " in conjunction with a 692 ohm resistor so I am able to increase the motor speed and cooling power at will. I normally only do this when I have just restocked the fridge(which is used only as a freezer) and have eithe a long drive ahead or I am able to connect to mains power.

Another thing I have done to increase the efficency of the fridge is to keep the air curculating around the compressor. I went to the tip shop and picked up a couple of old vacuum cteaner hoses. I then adapted one end to the airconditioner outlet which directs air to the driver's footwell. I then blocked the passenger side footwell air con outlet. The hose was run back to the fridge and the air was directed by the a plastic vacuum cleaner accessory which spreads the cool air over the condensor and compressor. The whole installation is inobtrusive and means that I can have aiflow to the fridge even by opening the vent and selecting any setting as long as it includes the footwell.

Does anyone know if the FF70 comes with an internal wire basket.

gday ereic.
acording to the fridge shop the 12 volt one you can buy any where pretty cheap will run the bd35 but you need the bigger 24 volt to run the bd 50.
70litre and bigger.
