I am considering purchasing a Waeco 90 litre 12 v fridge for my upcoming trips. Has anyone had any experience (good, bad or otherwise) with this brand of fridge. They are currently flooding the market by droping their prices by a further $200. They appear to be a
well built unit but im not sure if they will handle Oz outback. .

Hi Mark I am just about to buy a Waeco after getting 25 years out of an Engel. I cannot see why they wont stand up to the Aus conditions. I had a good look at an autofridge but the price is too high. At the current prices the Waeco is hard to beat. I query why you need a 90 litre as the larger the fridge the harder it is to keep cool for extended periods and the larger the dual battery system you will require. I currently have a 15l Engel used mostly as a freezer and a small Chescold 3way for long stops. This system has worked
well for 25 years. If you have a large family or drink a lot of grog then maybe a FF-40 litre Waeco would be sufficient. If you stop for long periods in the one place with no 240v power then you either have to have a generator and may not be allowed to use it or will need to resort to
solar power. The 3 way fridge/freezers are the only way to go under these conditions. Hope this is of some help.
