Cheers Steve.

They seem to get a good wrap, they certainly look very tough, all the top end fridges are very good so it boils down to "buy whatever takes your fancy"

As far as I know the Trailblazer can only be purchasd from the factory in Caloundra. They will deliver anywhere. Refer to web site in above comment.
We have owned a 50L Trailblazer for 4 years and it has been used on 4, five month trips without a hick up. We were told to set it on 3 on the dial and leave it. It is very robust, well insulated with 70mm walls and does not require a bag. Corrugated roads will not affect it at all.
The fridge has to be hard wired into the 2nd battery or it is not covered by warranty. They supply the loom. If you opt not to have the guages as we did, the small green light on the side will flash when the battery drops below 10.2 volts. It will still run when this happens but will require a charge soon. (Just run the motor for half hour)
The fridge is tough.
Hope this helps with your decision making. Charles

Stephen, a great fridge particually for use in the heat. Just check the dimentions as they are bigger externally than most others compared to the internal size & wont fit in some vehicles.

I have had a 60 litre Trailblaza for over 10 years and would have to be one the best
performing fridges of the lot when we have been away on fishing, shooting and 4x4
trips.
When we crossed the Simpson in '98 the 2 other vehicles we went with had Engels,and we struck some fairly warm weather, they had to turn theirs up during the day and back at night. One forgot to turn his back in the evening and had every thing frozen in the morning. I left the Trailblaza set on 3 and it kept every thing A1.
They are bulky but built of 75mm insulated fridge panel in a marine grade aluminium exterior. Mine was for 2 years mounted on the back of my traytop ute and my old blueheeler used to stand on it and lay over the rack onto the cab.
Two years ago I took it off the ute give the exterior a hit with the steam cleaner
and mounted it on a slide in the back of my L/C GXL. The lid is scratched from Blue
but has never missed a beat.
I am really pleased with it also because it uses very little power compared to others. Incidently I have had 3 mates sell their fridges they had and have bought Trailblazas, 2 had Engels and the other a Lemac after seeing the way mine has been treated and the way it performs.
Stephen you won't go wrong with a Trailblaza in my experiences, "make your first purchase your last" but just make sure you can fit it in as they are a bit bulky.

Thanks to all that replied to my query, i have contacted trailblaza and now just waiting for some more info on this product. does any one know where i can view these fridges i live in Melbourne.

Cheers Stephen.

Stephan,
We've owned a 70 litre standard Trailblaza for 4 years now, wouldn't have anything else. Very robust and the insulation is very high quality. They are a big fridge, but IMO still worth the effort!

Cheers
