No prob's so far. The built in level isn't perfectly flat so I dug it out and put it on the lid which is exactly flat.
On 240v it'll freeze stuff, the thermostat works
well, we use the fridge between shopping trips to store fruit always 6' (could choose to have colder).
On gas, we haven't used it lots but when we have it works very
well.
On 12v we have found it very good, YES even while moving. It will maintain at least 6' on 42' day. I did ditch the cigarette plug and have hard wired the 12v cord to 8mm wire directly to the battery for both +ive and -ive. (With fuses)
We have done a few interstate runs Alice to Syd. Alice to
Cairns. The Syd trip was during Xmas so very hot and at times humid.
We do as recommended, chill at 240v drive (usually @ 8hrs/day) Have a lunch break (1hr) & run it off the battery (720cca) without any noticeable loss of crank.
We also have a 2.5 hr drive to get to any shops, with 1 hr of rough corrugations so yep it's been shook up pretty
well and still maintains it's temp
well.
We haven't done any continuous mountainous driving so I'm no help for that.
It travels in the back of a tarped ute or in a troopy.
I chose it because no dual batteries is cheaper for me and also not available in the work troopy. I love the fact at
home or camping I can run on gas which is very handy especially when at
home I rely on ERGON or Power and Water. LOL
See ya,
Slammin.
