Brass Monkey Fridge Freezer

In another thread I mentioned my 60L Brass Monkey and member Bigfish suggested that I start a new thread to share my experience with it.

Previously I had a 40L Engel which was great till it died on me about 12 months ago. I did some testing and had a thread running on the Caravaners Forum trying to resolve why it didn't work. A fairly simple test suggested was to try running it directly from a 9V - 24V, 60VA, 5A Multi-Tapped Dual Output Type 2167 Transformer. I ran the pump for 30 minutes and the only change in temperature was that the pump got hot.

I have always been a fan of Jaycar, my wife loves Spotlight ;=))

Read up on the Brass Monkey and at $499 I could buy a 60L dual zone fridge freezer. Once it was loaded up as a freezer I found it was not cold enough to properly freeze so slipped in the dual zone divider and then set both temperatures to -20? and this worked. There is a Bluetooth app that I use that allows me to monitor the temperature etc.

For $499 with a three year warranty I figure I can buy 2 of these and still be in front on what the Engel cost me.

Also Jaycar are all over Australia and their warranty is generally a direct replacement. Beside Jaycar, they are also available through Road Tech Marines and a few more.

Hope this helps Bigfish.
