It started playing up on Monday and today it was no more.

Our valiant plastic bodied 15lt Engel has succumbed to the vagaries of time.
Purchased in February 1986 it has seen a multitude of bush trips. It had never been serviced(not sure if one can service them). The electrical socket at the bottom of the fridge broke after about 10 years and the body fell apart on the CSR in 94(having busted two shockies early in the trip), but we patched it all together and it kept on going and going and going.

I think it is an electrical fault and will play around with that in mind to see if I can get it working again for a beer fridge in the back yard.

So we went to the camping place in Pirie and invested in a Waeco 40lt with digital read out. Won't know ourselves. We were still keen on another Engel but we saved $200 on the purchase price with the Waeco.

The Waeco will live in the Xtrail.
