HI,
Recently upgraded to jayco camper with a 80-90 lt 3way fridge . Already own a 12v engel 32ltr
The question is should I sell the 32ltr Engel and get a 65 ltr dual zone Primus
OR keep the 32 and buy an 38ltr Engel Eclipse [plastic one ]
Or anybodies suggestion of different combos
Family of 5 [ 2 soon to be teenagers ]

I used to load a heap of beer and the wifes tins (as much as I could cram in with the food) in the fridge for a trip, but now do it differently.
Each morning, I just put say 4 or 5 beers and a few UDL's in the fridge for that late arvo / night, by days end they are nice and cold :)
Driving the car during the day, I just run the fridge from the car battery, as it's being fully charged anyway, at night plug it into Arkpak 100 amp/hr agm.
We use a 45lt size as a fridge, set at -2, it runs between -4 and 0, and find it great for food and drinks stocked as above for 2 - 3 weeks.
When we start doing longer tours, I will likely get a small 2nd fridge / freezer (15 - 20lt) that can be used as a freezer for meats, meals etc, and I reckon we will have a perfect setup for trips of 4 - 6 weeks before stocking up.
Put you tins (bottles too) into size 4 kids socks, stops rub throughs and
check at Kmart etc.
We call them candoms :)
