Internal divider - Trailblaza Fridge

Hi Spliney,
Make a note of the inside dimensions, and you might just be able to find a plastic basket in your shopping travels which neatly fits. I was able to find a couple of perfect-fit baskets for my Autofridge at Woolworths a few years back.
As an aside, a friend made an aluminiium divider for his Engel, and it chafed thru the evaporator plate, causing refrigerant to leak and ruining it.

Hi Spliney, the divider setup in my 60ltr Trailblaza consists of an aluminium frame made from 20x20x1mm aluminim angle ( the same as used on shower screen frames) on which sits a 15mm thick marine-ply board hinged in the middle with a 20mm hole drilled into either end so the partitian can be opened from either end to allow access to the freezer part. The frame has four legs & is held together by pop rivets. I have fitted rubber pads to the bottom of the legs & sides to stop it from rattling when traversing rough roads ect. The top of the frame is half the fridge depth distance When using the bottom section as a freezer & the top as a fridge I have found a thermostat setting of 4 is sufficient to keep food in a frozen condition. This setup I made when I bought the Trailblaza some 22 years ago at the suggestion of the manufacturer (Norcoast) & has worked well. I also fitted a plastic mesh mat similar to what you find in some commercial freezes to the bottom floor of the freezer section to facilitate air flow under the frozen food. This makes the freezer more efficient in the freezing process. Very simple & easy to make & can be removed with ease. I have a couple of plastic baskets that I picked up years age from Fridge City (W.A. Perth) that I use to pack item in the fridge section. Don't know if you can still buy them there but I'm sure that if you shop around the fridge & camping outlets you will find something to suit your needs. Cheers.

In my 60 litre Trailblaza , 4 plastic ice cream containers ,each of 2.4 litre capacity fit .2 have to be tipped upside as there lids hit.

Frozen food goes in these, on top this goes thin sheet of polystyrene is lid off lettuce polystyrene box.

On top this nicely fits one basket out of 60litre Engel so basket is 30 litres then inside Engel basket have smaller Engel dairy basket it clips into top of 30 litre basket.

At end of 30 litre basket can fit 2 x 2 litre cokes so can mixed with spirits.

Cheers Graham
