ps. scored what I feel may be a nice shot of a mud-dauber wasp today. Still love the sub-compact as a stand-alone unit. Concerned about 2012 though. jh.

Ok for a few days.

Agree with that, Nissnut; until I travel really remote why spend all my hard-earned on dual batteries, solar panels etc for something that has half the capacity of my ice box? A case of big boys toys, me thinks. That'll stir 'em up ;-))))

so buy an EvaKool and have the best of both worlds, Great as a fridge and excellent as a cool box

Oh so true.

They are a fridge. They keep stuff cold. Nothing more, nothing less.

Who gives a continental about the brand?

"Why is it that something as mundane as a fridge causes so much heat????? "

Because you have the thermostat set too high?????

HaHaHaHa pete, very good.

2nd hand 29l engel for $250, I`m not whinging

I'm not connected with these guys other than being a customer, but just bought the 40L Engel with Transit bag and extra cooler for less than the fridge alone retail at other places... plus free shipping!

It's a sweet deal!

$1149 Fridge + Transit bag + 8 Lt Thermo Cooler + 2 Caps + 2 Stubby Coolers
$0 shipping (Free)

I bought it about a month ago. Looks like they just changed their special to have containers rather than the cooler. Still a good deal though.

Juzzy....that's a mighty big difference in price to the 'end of line' 40 ltr Waeco I recently - $282 and it is brand spanking new. Already have a 40ltr Waeco I bought 6 years ago and it runs exceptionally well. Intend using the new one as a freezer in my campertrailer.

So you found the key then????

LOL Yes after pulling the steering column apart trying Hot Wire the truck, I found it lying under my jumper on the passenger seat. Do not recall putting it there but remember having lots of things in my hand so much have put it down there. Then Jeddah walked over the jumper and the key fell down on to the seat and under the jumper.

What a relief.....bloody old age...:-)))))))

Lesson learned. Will find a hidy-hole somewhere on the truck for the spare.

Cheers

Willem, Waeco are far from Johnny come lately cold making device.

Just new to the "retail" portable fridge market. But agree with your point Engel is better known in Australia for it.

Whyallacookie

Please elaborate on the Waeco in Australia. Engel Fridges were around in the 1970's. I do not recall every knowing of Waeco's until about 5 years ago.

Willem Waeco were established in 1974 and started out building fridges for yachts. They then expanded and have pretty much had the luxury car fridge market to themselves. So although relatively "new" in Australia for portable fridges there designs have been used here for quite some time, we just weren't aware of it.

Obviously now they are having a big push with lots of marketting on the portable car fridge market which has thrust them in to mainstream.

For those who are interested Engel started in 1962
