Hi all, quick follow up for those interested.
Received call from Repco to say that had received in a new fridge. I took in my current fridge (fridge only) and they swapped it over no questions asked. What's more, I only gave them the fridge and they gave me a whole new box with fridge, gas hose, cables, ice-tray etc etc. No paperwork, so signature nuthin'.
*smattering of applause for the good folks at Repco*
I decided to read the instructions this time and pretty much near the front is "Do not expose to rain". Oops, missed that one last time. I wonder if it getting 'a bit' rained on at our
camp site had anything to do with performance? But fair dinkum, how can you promote a camping product with a "do not get wet or it will bugger up" restriction.
Anyway, will be plugging it in on gas tonight and will
check it in the morning.
Better go, starting to sound like Wolfie.
Cheers,

Sounds like an excellent result ...... I am sure it will work OK, I have friends with them & they are very good on 240v & gas, but average on 12v.
Remember it must be level, not almost level ..... LEVEL!
I would have thought it quite logical not to leave it in the rain, like other things we take camping should be kept dry .. like handheld radios, invertors, cameras etc.

I didn't leave it exactly out in the rain, it was under the tarp but on the side so as not to be in the way. After the first rain when we were still setting up, I noticed that it had got some splash from the ground and some drizzle from the wind blowing the rain around. Don't see how to stop this and still follow the "don't have indoors, keep 10cm away from anything else" rules. It needs air convection to work and if I leave it in the fresh air, it's likely to cop a LITTLE wet.
I've replied to level below, but yes I've taken steps to ensure it's level. There's a
pic in my profile of the stand, although not a good one.
Cheers.
