Hooked up with a shiela who has "inherited' a 50l waeco from the previos boyfreind (wonder what i will be donating??) so my questiions are
- can i put the waeco in the same car as my 35l engal or will they fight?
- Which one is best for keeping the beer in and which one the food?
- Can I splice off power for the second fridge from the original fridge power supply (power supply was originally HF radio power supply with HID fuse thick cable etc) or would i need to need totally new wiring

What the!
you can't ask some of those questions on this forum.

If the wiring tis heavy enough you can splice into it but be careful with connections as those waeco's are very voltage sensitive

I think you should.... :)

put the Engel inside the Waeco to get super cold stuff and then buy a Nissan to do the job properly.

PS. It wouldn't hurt to get a Sthil either - and don't forget the AGM battery... with a proper Ctek (whatever) 3 stage charger, or course. $10,000 should see you OK and remember... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Have you seen the previous boyfriend since he disappeared? Check the Waeco for human contents or even smears of blood around the catches. If all is OK proceed with caution.
Just give her the old Hereafter routine.
i.e.
If your not here after what I'm here after
You'll be here after I'm gone.

I guess the 35L engel would fit comfortably in the 50L waeco whereas the other way around would be a bit of a stretch :)

Take the Waeco for the food.. and leave the beer in the river.

The river won't use as much power as the Engel.

actually i was thinking from a purely mathematical point of view Waeco = 50l = fit more beer than Engal=35l the more cold beer (obviosly not as cold as the engal) the better??

480W x 411H x 270Dmm = 53.26 litres

Actually theres a point, use the engel in the river to stop your beer floating away..

Don't leave it in there too long though, the ass may rust out of it

Well Davoe,
I have a 110 litre Waeco and a 39 litre Engel.
The way I see it the Waeco is for beer and the Engel is for food. After all you only have three meals per day but a hell of a lot more beers!!
