chescold fridge

I have had one for about 5 years ,had no problems so far ,have herd that if you leave it on 240 volts for any extended time ,months on end they start to play up

Still got one as well as an Engel.
Never had a problem with it. It is around 14 years old.
They run way better on gas and it's best to keep them well shaded.
Only run them on 12 volt if the engine is running as they will flatten batteries in minutes rather than hours

Cheers

Yes they work very well on gas and don't use much gas at all. After turning the gas bottle off mine runs for another 2-3 minutes before stopping. Unlike the Waeco's and Engels they take a while to get cold , remembering they work via a heat exchanger system, so best to get them running for 2-3 hours before you want them to cool things. Other than that they are great.

I used mine over at Fraser in Dec...35 + heat and had no problems. The chescold is really designed for gas and you will find on 12v it will only old the temp you put it in at.....

But it's a good one for long trips thats for sure

One very important point.
KEEP IT LEVEL except when mobile (rocking around is OK.)
Running them off level for long can actually ruin the fridge.

Mine cools the inside to 20 to 25 degrees below air temperature.
