Hi all,thinking of buying a finch 3 way, just interested in the people who have a finch and there thoughts on reliabilty of this unit and are they easily serviced or are they not worth the hassle.
Plan to use it to mainly keep milk and meat cold on our trips away max 2 weeks at a time camping.
The fridge is about 15 years old so dont know the life of these, this one looks like its been looked after.
Thanks in advance
Jason

Jason, I have a Finch which is around 20 years old I think. Paid $100 for it 5 years ago and it's been excellent. Works particularly
well if placed near the flow through vent in the back of a wagon - I use it in a Prado and the the vent outlet id]s near the rear power outlet. No moving parts means they are pretty
well trouble free. I am sometimes envious of people with compressor fridges who don't have to lift them out when setting up
camp but $100 compared with their costs plus slide plus dual battery consoles me. I've used it outback and in Queensland in summer with no worries. Brilliant for long stays without vehicle use too!!
