We (a family of 6) have been using a 70l compressor fridge on our trailer for the past few years and have come to like our cordial nice and cold. The kids will go thru about 6-8 litres a day, plus all the other stuff that goes in, so the fridge works pretty hard. On a recent trip to the Kimberly where we only travelled a few hundred k's between 1 & 3 day stops we found we were running out of batteries (we have two 110Amp Hour batteries on the trailer and turn the unit off at night). A family of 5 travelling with us had a 50l Chestcold 3Way fridge and they always seemed to have cold drinks and milk. I have always believed the heat sink fridges to be less efficient than compressor fridges, but was impressed with the Chestcold's performance. To keep our batteries charged we needed to run the car for several hours each day, not always practical. Does anyone have good or bad experiences with the 3 Way fridges
