Packing beer in Waeco

Why do you need 3 layers of beers in the fridge..?

Just run what you need for each evenings session, put them in in the morning to chill during the day when the vehicle is running, even more friendly to limited battery capacity.

Being a Waeco, run your frozen meat in the bottom, and chill items on top. Worked a treat for many many trips over 8 years before I bought the Evakool.

Hi

Discussion on this important matter about year and half ago..

Thin Beer Cans

and before that here

Stopping Cans Rubbing

If you do a forum search of "beer" you may find others.

Thanks a lot Greg. Some great suggestions on those older threads.

Helen D2,

Take stubbies and don't take them out of the plastic wrapping until you are ready to drink them. The plastic keeps the tops on. If you don't have a lot of room in your fridge, only put in a days worth and at night, leave stubbies outside and the cold night will chill them to drinking temperature by morning.

I have had cans explode several times & having an autofridge the cans also leave alot of marks on the bottom & walls. My solution was to get the MSA 4x4 tinnie tubes, not the cheapest solution at $34 for 12 but work a treat & come with canvas storage bag that you can hang on fridge handle or cargo barrier etc.

Hi Helen,

The simple answer is......

Open lid

Place beer

Close lid :-)

As others have indicated,
have a small amount in place and on a daily rotate,
replace what has been used.
Use thin socks as protectors.
Some use rubber bands around the top & bottom of the can.
Pack the fridge tightly - use inflated wine bladders - to minimise movement
Driver slower, less movement when you do.

Have a great trip.

buy cheap neoprene stubby/can holders and stack them in fridge with can in place....simple

Another vote for only putting the next days rations in the fridge.

If stacking cans on top of each other, beer or cool drinks, I place a sheet of plastic fluted /Visy board between. To stop the sideways rub I've used stubby folders or tea towels.
For wine I use an old whiskey tin that acts like an ice bucket. Tin in the corner and the wife's bottle of 'cardinay' just slides in and out without the canned stuff falling into the hole left by her bottle of wine. Also handy for my 1.5L water bottle.

If carrying wine bottles I leave the wine in the carton and replace the empty bottle in the spot I took it out of the carton. Solves rattle and rubbish issues.

Kids ankle socks. Cheap as from KMART. Get different colours so you know which beers are cold and which are warm
