Just been looking through the shooting mag and noticed that ARB now have a Fridge / Freezer. 47lt capacity...all the usual stuff...can go to -18 degrees, comes with fridge slide, straps etc....(no price though).
Has anyone got one?? never heard of them but its not suprising that ARB have finally got one out there.....

I had a look at one of these fridges the other week. They look like a waeco. I asked whether Waeco made them but they denied it.
"...specially made for ARB to our specifications"
In saying that however, they have some features on them that are an improvement on the Waeco. The lid is sturdier with proper hinges but still has the ability to be taken completely off. Overall they look like a stronger unit.
The fridge covers are also
well designed. They are made out of good quality canvas and fit very neatly to the unit.

I bought one two weeks ago, $ 1200.00 including the travel cover. I decided to give it a go after reading a long and in depth research paper written by a guy a few years ago which I picked up from a link from this
forum, thanks to whoever that was.It has a German built Danfosser refrig. unit which was the guy's biggest problem with the Engel ( swing motor )
I was of the belief that it is being made by one of the Electrolux companies, but I will try and clarify this. I thought it had some great design ideas, however the proof will be to see how it goes over time and if it can get anywhere near Engel's reliability.
I know ARB are aware of the risk coming into this market with a new product, but they reckon they have got it right.
I hope so, but time will tell.
Cheers
