TRAILBLAZA FRIDGES

The majority of the Danfoss powered fridges are ok. What you have to look at is what features you need and the bang for the $$$.

Trailblaza have a good reputation in fridges and you should not be dissapointed.

Where are you using the refrigerator and where are you going to mount it?

Nobby, Can't speak highly enough of my 60 litre Trailblaza.
Tough as nails and good on power - on my last trip a couple of weeks ago we got 3 full days out of one 80 amp battery without starting the car.
Maybe a little dearer than most others but well worth it in my opinion.

Nobby, you can't beat the Trailblazas, as long as you have plenty of space. The 3" insulation makes them a bit bulky, but pays in power use. happy new year...

Hi Nobby, I've been using a 60 litre Trailblaza for over 15 years now & it has never failed me yet. I mainly run it 50/50 fridge freeze using a partition between the top & bottom half and the thermostat set around halfway. The overall daily current drain is about 20 amps which shouldn't worry you as long as you don't let your batteries run down. As I have mentioned in an earlier section of this forum I run it off two 6volt Magnum 250 amphr. batteries connected in series & recharge it off 2x 80 watt BP solar panels. These batteries are over eight years old & have never been discharged more then 75% and are still going strong. As a matter of fact I have just finished giving them a pulse charge over a 3 day period and each cell came up to a specific gravity of 1300 at an overall voltage of 13.5volts so there is still some life left in them yet. Just goes to show you what life you can get out of a deep cycle battery if you don't run them down. I assume the batteries you are using are deep-cycle & not your normal start batteries because they are not designed for continuous current drain.

have a look at the explorer fridge, just as good as the trailblaser, aussy made, with the same insulation. the 60 ltr is lower in hieght than the tb and has a seperate freezer compartment and thermosat. They also draw the same amps as the tb, as they run the danfoss compressor. Col

Nobby - looking at one of these units myself. Can you forward he contact details for Trailblaser.
