camping fridge - what is best

I wonder what brand of fridge Cook had!!!!

Antarctic Deluxe. Just drop down to lower latitudes to cool the food LOL.

Thanks for the site Mainey, had a long look through it, we like the look of the CF110 Fridge/Freezer, will be hiring one over christmas break to trial. we are setting up for travelling over the next few years and do go camping for weekends and weeks quite often. We don't want to "double buy" now and have buy later for the long trips - 3-6 mths at a time. Also would you have any advice on the benefits of buying the extra Waeco battery power units to go with the dual battery system.
cheers...karel

karel,
A decent dual battery system does not require add on anything, unless it is not working as it should, and in that case it should be fixed not accessorised, UNLESS it is with a solar system which I would fully recommend if you are camping for a week at a time in the same place.

A decent battery system will never (never ever) run short of power->
if... you put in more than you remove.

Is this the fridge you are looking at?
Pasted from the Waeco website, with the irrelevant information removed, to save electrons and forum space.

I state up front I am not a Waeco aficionado ):

I have never owned a Waeco, I can only obtain information from what I read on the Waeco website!

the fridge does not state it runs on 240v, it may, and at extra cost?
It also states the fridges are NOT Brand NEW

Ummm, for my $1,399 I would want 240v as an option and new, not someone’s else's problem fridge

the other fridge was $1,145 with 240v and the exactly same Danfoss compressor, and also with thicker insulation which gives better cooling retention and tends to use less power as well, saving the battery system further.
just my 2 cents worth, is your money...

Also,

If you're considering a Waeco, try The Fridgeshop, www.fridgeshop.com, they're currnetly doing the CF 110 for $1199. I got my CF 80 for $980 about four weeks ago. Both of these also come with a bonus 15 L thermoelectric cooler thrown in. Note they are seconds, or damaged stock (mine has a small ding in tne back and a small crack in the base) and only come with a 1 year warranty as opposed to 3 on a newie.
