3 way fridge sizes

I can't answer you question specifically but would ask do you need to have such a big 12v fridge to start with?

I have a 60lt fridge which does my family just fine. We also have a firbreglass esky that we use and between the two we have ample capacity.

So if you want to go with three way is 55litre big enough? I would think yes but only you can answer that question.

Buy 2 - Get a 40L Chescold F400 ($900 new) and use it as a freezer and buy a cheap gasmate/repco 3way for a fridge ($300 new)

As an owner of a 12v 80L fridge I understand your problem. To be able to go bush for a week (just two of us) we need the 80 to take the stuff we like to take.

The largest decent 3 way that I am aware of is the Chescold RC 1180, at 55 litres.

When the time comes, the 80 Waeco will get the Tijuana Brass and I'll get the 1180 for Camp and a small 12 volt (approx 30L) for the car. This will give us greater versatility and keeping power up to a 30L should be a doddle with our solar panel. The generator will then get retired as well.

Cheers,

Jim.

Thanks to all so far. Primus does have a 70L so that may be a good comprimise along with the a cheaper repco one as a backup.

If you get a caravan type fridge you will probably have to build a cabinet for it. Every one I know of is built to be installed in a cabinet in a van.

With a 3 way about 6o litre I am impressed the way it goes through a gas bottle. Given the cost of refills I can't wonder if we wouldn't be better off with a Coolgardie safe. Anyone still using one? And the old canvas water bottle may have leaked but they did give a nice gool drink hung up in a tree.
